Elders drawn from the 16 communities in the Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, on Thursday, gathered at the village square at the Ngbo/Izziah Cultural Centre and called on the gods of the

land to deal decisively with anyone involved in cultism, sponsoring war and other social vices in the area.

Speaking during the ceremony at the cultural centre, the Chairman of the council, Clement Odah, said the declaration was to ensure lasting peace, adding that they were working to make the communities safe. Odah said, “It is to mark the climax of peace and security in the Ohaukwu LGA. A lot of things have been done. We have called several meetings; we have set up a lot of structures; we have campaigned and worked very hard to make sure that Ohaukwu becomes the safest local government area in Ebonyi State.

“We called for this traditional and spiritual ceremony. This place is called Obodo Amanata. It is not a place you will come and tell lies. It is a place where every man’s honesty is tested.
