The guns, including one Mark 4 rifle, seven single and double barrel guns, one locally-made revolver pistol and two locally-made double barrel pistols were turned in on Friday alongside 136 live ammunition of 7.62mm calibre, three dynomites, 10 cartridges and two 9mm live ammunition. The submission of the arms came barely three days after another set of 130 assorted high calibre rifles were returned by a group of 100 youths led by a cult kingpin in the state. The Rivers State Commissioner for Youth Affairs, Mr. Barry Mpigi, while displaying the guns before newsmen at Government House, expressed happiness that the Rivers State anti-cult law had started yielding positive dividends. The commissioner restated the need for cultists who failed to voluntarily return their arms to do so within the amnesty period as stiff penalty awaited those caught by the law. Mpigi thanked those that heeded the call to surrender their weapons and urged them to continue to be law-abiding so that the state could be a safe place for all. According to the commissioner, 170 assorted guns and pistols had been recovered since the anti-cult law was signed by Governor Peter Odili few weeks back. Monday, July 19, 2004
