Founder/president of Re-educating Africans on the Risk and Dangers of Unplanned Journey Abroad (RARDUJA) International, Eddy Duru, stated this yesterday in Owerri during a chat with The Guardian.

He stated that activities and lifestyles of most religious leaders, who are looked up to by their followers, led to the death of many and left others in hopeless conditions.
