The world today is very chaotic, I can emphatically say nowhere is totally safe. People now behave as they like and indulge in numerous atrocities just to satisfy their evil desires, some goes to the extent of killing their friends or family members cause of businesses or inheritance while some kills for pleasure without having any reason whatsoever. Even with the invention of technology, crime rate hasn't reduce though it has been kept in check.
Crimes cut across almost every region of the world including my beloved country Nigeria, but I must say some regions in Nigeria are more safer than the other most especially the southern and the Western region are kind of peaceful compare to the Northern region in which terrorism, kidnappings and banditries are the order of the day over there.
I've lived all my life in Kwara State which is located in North-Central geo political zone of Nigeria and I live in the state capital known as Ilorin. Ilorin is one of the coolest place one can ever live cause the standard of living and the crime rate over here is relatively low, although not that there aren't criminal records in the state, but is kind of low compare to other states in Nigeria.
While I'm much younger, my area was full of criminal activities but the most frequent disturbance in my vicinity then was majorly from the Cultist cause I live close to the State Polytechnic Mini Campus for the Engineering students and also thefts was rampant cause of the popular Market place that's very close to my area of residence.
My area was famous for different atrocities which makes lots of people relocate from there cause of incessant fights between different factions of notorious Cultist living in the area, to harassment and extortion from cultist both day and night. It got to an extent whereby, walking alone becomes very difficult, one has to walk in pair so as to be safe. This makes various security agencies parade my area every now and then to raid and make arrest of criminals so that peace would reign in the area.
With frequent raids over the years, many criminals were arrested while some went hidden which makes us now live with peace of mind. Since then, my area is now a ghost of itself cause the government and organisations has curbed those perpetrating evils, so those bad things happening in my area had become things of the past and I can say my area is very safe now compared to years back. People can now party till midnight without cultist invasion and walk freely without fear both at night and broad daylight. Things has really changed in my area and I'm very glad to see it this way.
Therefore, the crime rate in my vicinity is now extremely low and everyone is free to go about their businesses without been afraid. I can trek at any time in my area, although sometimes things might happen but still the area I'm living is very safe.

I remember a quote from a video game long ago...
.... "The Price of Freedom is eternal vigilance".
I'm glad that your town is now free from cultists. Although I will admit I'm curious as to exactly what cultists are, what they believe and what they did. Hopefully those bad times never come back...then again, never forget and keep watch.
Weeds are tough to get rid of once they take root.
Thanks for posting.
Cultist are members of cults who find pleasure in killing others once they discover another particular person is from another faction of cult. They tend to fight every now and then over slight differences.
