A former national assembly member, Senator Anthony Agbo, who represented Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone at the weekend revealed that over 150 youths in Ngbo community, Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi State were killed by cultists.
Agbo noted that the said persons were killed within the last two years in the state as a result of the unfortunate increase in the cult related activities, especially in Ohaukwu LGA.
Senator Agbo made this known during the funeral of Rt. Hon. Nwegede Nwangbo at Ndulo Umuezeaka Ngbo in Ohaukwu local government area.
The former lawmaker enumerated the litany of development which has been recorded in Ngbo and the contribution of late Nwegede Nwangbo to the socio-economic development of the area.
“First and foremost, love has escaped us and everybody is a virtual enemy to the other who under cover seethe and bemoan with envy, jealousy/anger and hatred against every situation of advantage/blessing/favour and fortunate that comes to his neighbour.
“Life has become so cheap. Youths now smoke Indian-hemp and pick up a gun or dagger and end the life of a human being and walk away remorselessly; nature is completely obliterated in Ngbo; every manner of wild life is extinct, our once sprawling glorious vegetation are all gone, even palm trees that last standing testimony of nature’s abundant free gift to us are being summarily felled; no common wealth of nature.
“Our rivers and streams have had their gorgeous courses either closed or destroyed through criminal patrimonial infringement and trespasses; all pointing to the blatant savagery of unguided human elements that have no leaders to point them to the direction of santity.
“Extreme evil, violence, hypocrisy, falsehood and deceit reign in our midst: over hundred and fifty human beings were violently killed in the last two years in Ngbo and Izziah through the blatant terror of misguided and disoriented youths initiated into cultism.
“Our leaders in fear, helplessness and for other reasons abandoned their mantle, abdicated their responsibilities and ran away, while the carnage went unabated until Ohaukwu ministers of God and few leaders gathered in solemn convocation and cried unto God, who promptly answered.
“The wrath of God was invoked to stand in wait for unrepentant leaders and people who propagate, encourage and instrumentalize this terrible and all consuming evil cultism. Like the mythical ancient Greek sword of Damocles,God’s anger, through that grave declaration is still in the mid air, waiting to descend on unfortunate souls that shall disregard and flout this solemn utterance of our spiritual leaders.
“Ngbo has fallen prostrate, crippled and helpless; no respected and feared voice. The fear, honour and respect outsiders use to have for us seem to have gone to the winds. We have become like a conquered ancient city-state, a vassal kingdom paying tribute to invaders and potentents through emisary’s of desperate, pathetic warlords and village Napoleon’s with tiny fierfdom”, he declared.
