In celebration of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, The Aviary Club of Nigeria (ACN) proudly joined the Edo State Government’s Sensitization Campaign Against Cultism and Kidnapping, a landmark initiative aimed at curbing the rising menace of cult-related activities and abductions across the state.
Led by Edo Aviary Chapter President, Avian Uche, alongside other state executives and members, the awareness walk traversed major streets in Benin City, drawing the attention of residents to the urgent need for collective action in building a safer society. The event underscored the club’s enduring commitment to advocacy, community engagement, and the promotion of peace.
This campaign aligns with the Edo State Government’s recent enactment of the Secret Cult and Similar Activities (Prohibition) Law, 2025, which introduces stringent measures and penalties for individuals or groups involved in cultism, its sponsorship, or the harboring of cult members. The law represents a bold step toward restoring public order, and the Aviary Club of Nigeria lends its full support to its enforcement.
Speaking during the campaign, representatives of the Aviary Club emphasized that societal transformation begins with civic responsibility and moral reawakening. They reiterated that community participation remains the strongest weapon against insecurity, and that collaborative efforts between government, security agencies, and civic organizations are essential in achieving sustainable peace.
“As a humanitarian and advocacy-based organization, we believe that the safety of our communities is a shared duty,” said Chapter President.
“The Aviary Club of Nigeria stands firmly with the Edo State Government in the fight against cultism, kidnapping, and all forms of criminality. Together, we can restore dignity, safety, and hope to our people.”
