The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has announced the arrest of 20 cult members reported to be involved in armed robbery, rape and kidnapping.

The suspects, who were said to have been picked up through police intelligence in the Onna Local Government Area, had reportedly owned up to the crimes.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Elkana Bala, said in Uyo on Wednesday that the police also arrested the leaders of the two cults, Victor Udofia, 50 (Isakaba cult); and Victor Andrew, 52 (Ikpat cult).

The PPRO associated the cult activities in the state with chieftaincy tussle and politics.

According to him, policemen attached to the Anti-Robbery and Anti-Kidnapping Squad identified some flash points at Ukanafun and Etim Ekpo LGAs, adding that the command had enough intelligence about the areas.

Bala stated that all the suspects would be charged to court before the end of next week.

I'm not a tribalist nor an ethnic bigot

But truth be told there's high rate of cultism among the south south and south east youth in Nigeria.

That part of the country need serious attention.
