Uyo High School shut down as students give principal 24 hours ultimatum to release detained cultists

Akwa Ibom State Government on Thursday 24 June 2021 ordered closure of Uyo High School, a public secondary school in the state over cult activities. The school has been notorious for cult war on weekly basis, but the one that occurred 2 weeks ago had a Mobil filling station located opposite the school attacked.

It was gathered that during the rival cult war, students threw stones at the glass house of the filling station and destroyed it. Amidst the pandemonium, it was further gathered that the principal, Mr Michael Etuk arrested and detained some students at the police headquaters, Ikot Akpanabia Uyo who were allegedly involved in cultism and have been unleashing mayhem in the school.

A source who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that those students, about 6, are still remanded by the police. Other members of the cult group, angered by the principal’s action, stormed his office and dropped some fetish objects at the entrance which included fresh palm fronds, red piece of cloth, whitish objects and a bottle containing black liquid hung on the wall.

They also pasted notes at both sides of the wall which read thus: “we give you 24-hours to release our boys or we fall you. Remember we know your house, children and wife, Iwok close. Mr. Principal we always defend you, but you are fighting us. We wash our hands off your case, we fight for you no more.”

When our correspondent visited the school premises, the principal was not present but the warning notes were still conspicuously pasted on the walls while the fetish objects were still there.

However, Commissioner for Education, Mrs Idongesit Etiebet directed the chairman, State secondary school board, Dr.Ekaette Ebong to shut down the school indefinitely to allow normalcy return to the school. When the Commissioner Mrs Etiebet was contacted, she simply responded with a text message, "I’m in a meeting, I have directed the chairman secondary education board to temporarily close down the school”.

An SS1 student Miss Keziah Joseph, who spoke with our correspondent at the gate, said students were shocked to see fetish objects displaced in the principal’s office, adding they were asked to vacate the school around 12noon to avoid crisis.

Manager of the filling station, Mrs Mbereobong Elijah, told our correspondent that an incident happened 2 weeks ago in the school and students were running into the premises of the filling station for escape. She said they all came out to see what was happening and to plead with them to stop fighting each other, adding that as they were pleading they got annoyed and started throwing stone at the glass windows.

According to her, they shattered the glasses and destroyed one of the dispensers of the filling station. She said "Two weeks ago, cult members were fighting in the school. Some of them ran to take cover in our premises. We pleaded with the group already in our premises to stop but as we were pleading we heared stones on our glass door so we had to run inside for our safety.”

That school and the one they call technical at nwaniba road...are both breeding ground for children doing cult activities.


This thing is getting out of hand and govt needs to do something... Der is nothing like discipline anymore.

The principal should expel them...if don't want sch u stay at home ...tired of hearing this rubbish from my state.

Cultism is killing the south u will never hear cultism in d north... Although they have a bigger problem.... The boko guys and d cow guys... And also a way bigger problem poverty and education

Not cult related. The filling station that got burnt is the genesis of the whole drama, they wickedly took a boy student of the school into their premises and had him beaten mercilessly. Na normal aluta spirit d oda students display

Wonders

Cultism has always been the bane of the south, from nursery school, students dabble into cultism, either out of a sesnse of feeling among, or so as to be feared.

The best way to fight cultism will be to have a complaint box around school, so students who are cultist could hv their names dropped and from there could be investigated, a board for that should be instituted in schools across board..

Cultism is becoming institutionalized, the best way to counter it should be a systemic aproach.

NFAs,


NO FUTURE AMBITION

The moral decadence, debauchery and depravity in the society is alarming.

The truth is that there no more role models.
These juveniles follow the footsteps of the older generation whose are in high places of government and industries running their criminality.

Here in Ebonyi, one of the criteria for getting a government appointment is being a cultist. This is from the youngest to the oldest.

See liver! Kids from dysfunctional homes with mix of abuse of substances.

Nigeria which way?

Uyo High School students have been known to be notorious from my little days, I dunno what OR who gives them such guts but it's crazy especially how they beat N make their teachers run away!
