It is a matter of deep regret and embarrassment to the society at large that Nigeria’s tertiary in­stitutions and even some com­munities have remained theatres of the absurd-killing fields of the most bestial type-in the name of secret cult. Recent developments in some universities and even the cult war in some parts of Rivers State before the last legislative elections have once more brought to the front burner of national discourse the ugly incidents of senseless killings in the name of cultism in many parts of the coun­try. It remains a big dent on our ban­ner that undergraduate students- the quintessence of good manners and true essence of the country’s future- now parade the campuses armed with the most sophisticated weaponry, from hand weapons to Kalashinkov assault rifles. What is more, most of these undesirable acts are often carried out in broad day light in a country that boasts of all arms of security outfits. It has been established too that ev­ery cult group, as diverge...
