Rule of Law and Empowerment Initiative
Henry Anoliefo and other members of the nongovernmental organization
visited the Royal father in his palace in Karu, in line with their advocacy
campaigns.

" he is wondering how the next generation will imbibe morals without
initiatives like this, as the youths now prefer to follow material
enrichments."
Dr Yepwi called for more
effort in taking the program to schools and homes, because if “children imbibe
morals at school and at home, the society will be better and cultism will be
eradicated or at least reduced’”
The royal father said that
right now the issues of vices and cultism is getting out of hand as Children
are no longer afraid of their parents and teachers as well.
He advised parents to stop
the act of beating up teachers or harassing Teachers for discipline their
wards.

year 2015 precisely on 13th August, during his tenure as the Enugu state
commissioner of police.
