The Edo State Government has demolished two properties located in Uromi and Ewatto, citing their alleged use for ritual activities and cult-related crimes.

According to the state authorities, the structures were identified as being linked to an arrested suspect involved in these illicit operations. The demolition was carried out as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle infrastructure associated with criminal elements within the state.

The properties in question were specifically flagged for their connection to ritualistic practices and cult activities, which the government has sought to curb in the region.

While the source material does not provide specific dates for the arrests or the exact timeline of the demolition, the action underscores the state's commitment to addressing security concerns related to organized crime and occult practices.

Edo State has previously taken measures to target locations deemed unsafe or used for illegal purposes, aiming to restore peace and order in affected communities.
