Edo State Draws the Line — Cracks Down on Neo Black Movement

In a firm stance against rising concerns of organized crime, the Edo State Government has begun legal proceedings aimed at curbing the activities of the Neo Black Movement (NBM). The government announced that it is actively engaging legal experts to explore appropriate legal measures against the group.

This move comes amid growing public unease over the group’s alleged involvement in activities that undermine law and order. Government officials have reiterated their zero-tolerance approach to any organization linked to violence, intimidation, or cult-related operations.

Sources within the government confirmed that consultations with legal stakeholders are ongoing, as the state prepares to take concrete steps to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
