Campus security operatives aid cultism - Ex-cultist

THE Co-ordinator, Campus Cult Eradication Foundation (CCEF), Nasarawa State Chapter, Comrade Amazing Grace Emmanuel, has blamed the campus' security personnel for conniving with some cultists to perpetrate heinous act.
Emmanuel made this disclosure in a chat with Crime & Security that cultism had become a competitive race at the Nasarawa State Polytechnic (NASPOLY), Lafia, in which all the existing five cult groups in the institution were scrambling for membership, as well as initiating them every weekend.
Emmanuel, who was an active Vikins member of four different institutions before renouncing, lamented that governments at all levels were paying lip service to the issue of cultism, as such a bloodhood camaraderie may not be eradicated without involving notorious ex-cultists.
Speaking in an interview with Crime & Security in Lafia, the state capital, the ex-cultist said the five existing cult groups at NASPOLY, namely Eiye, Buccaneer, Black Axe, Blues and Vikins, were always struggling for membership ahead of a day of violence.
He suggested a renounciation programme in which all the ex-cultists would be on ground to enlighten active cultists on negative aspect of the bloodhood as the only panacea to the eradication of cultism. The CCEF co-ordinator said the foundation was poised to recover, renounce, reform and rehabilitate cultists with the assistance of security operatives in the state, saying many touts who were even not students of any tertiary institution had been initiated, all in the name of getting enough members ahead of violence period.
According to him, Vikins and Black Axe were the prominent groups in the institution as many innocent souls had been wasted, robbed of their valuables and ladies raped, either from the institution or not.
He lamented that the cult group with the lowest membership in the institution had about 119 members and all the deadly groups were still enrolling members almost every weekend.
According to him: "This is not my first institution. I had attended four different institutions before and I am an active member of Vikins. I was expelled, suspended indefinitely and at times, if the environment was not conducive for me, I had to leave, as failure to leave might lead to many things. These among others are some of the reasons why I've attended four institutions so far."
