The Rivers State Police Command on Saturday said the Neo-Black Movement, NBM, also known as Aiye or Black Axe would be celebrating an anniversary on Sunday, causing tension in many places.
SP Grace Iringe-Koko, the spokesperson of the command, said that intelligence reports indicated that the cultists intend to initiate innocent victims into their group on July 7 (today).
“The event, code-named Aiye Day or 7/7, is scheduled to be observed in all states of the federation, especially in institutions of higher learning.
“The command is aware of the antecedents of the confraternity, notorious for killings on campuses, inter-cult clashes, and other criminal activities of a violent nature,’’ she said.
According to the PPRO, the Black Axe, which is one of the most dangerous confraternities in the country, may potentially engage in clashes with rival cults today, calling on parents and guardians to monitor their children and wards during this period.
In a similar vein, the Edo State Government had also warned against unlawful gatherings by members of any cult group across the state.
