I graduated in 2007. I visited my school in 2019 and still saw some of my Cultists course mates still hanging around the school campus.

They're still there parading as Commanders, No 1, Exec etc. Some are in their 40s without a degree, job, training and family. The world has Left them behind. 

One was living in the same compound with me then. He saw me and started calling me "Oga". He said he'll "Mount me" till I finish what I came to do. I don't need it but I had to allow him follow me up-and-down. 

I dashed him 10k and left. 

Cultism turns you into a baby. It humiliates and reduces you. It dehumanizes a man. 

Also, it's not a matter of if a Cultist will die, it's a matter of when. 

Do you know how many Youth we've lost in Rivers State on cult related clashes? Some were killed by security agencies while many are languishing in jail. Some were either beheaded or buried alive by their opponents. 

In my LGA alone, I counted more than 150 souls wasted on cult related clashes since 2011 till date. I know some of them personally because we grew up together but they derailed. 

My worry is that they have entered our primary schools. By the time the children enter secondary school, they're already active Cultists. They'll eventually enter the university to lead the campus Cult or become kidnappers and Armed robbers, drug dealers in the society.

Police Campaign Against Cultism And Other Vices (POCACOV) is a project of the Nigeria Police Force initiated by the present Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mohammed Abubakar Adamu NPM mni and its aim is to curb the act of cultism and other vices amongst the Nigerian Youths and Students. POCACOV initiative is different from core law enforcement duties.
