The Cross River State House of Assembly has commenced activities to amend the Anti-Cultism Act which was passed into law in April 2002 during the administration of a former governor of the state, Mr Donald Duke.
Bassey told the House that the bill seeks to, not just define who is a member of a secret cult, but to actually explain who is a cultist. “Cultism has become a top killer factor in the state, even more, deadly than some diseases. The killing of young ‘Crossriverians’ on campuses is alarming and we must take steps to address it.“This bill seeks to outline stiffer punishment for any individual who is arrested for involvement in cultism to set as a deterrent to others,” he said.
“When kidnappers seize a victim and a ransom is not paid, they often result to killing the victim. Likewise armed robbers; when they break into a home and there is nothing to rob, they kill the victims.
