​Edgal Imohimi, the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, on Friday said six out of ten young people in Lagos were cultists.

He stated this at a town hall meeting with some residents of Surulere area of the state.

The forum was on “ Partnership with Community for Crime Prevention.’’

Imohimi called for state of emergency on cultism, saying that cultism among youths in Lagos was alarming.

The Commissioner said, “I instructed one of my officers to carry out a research on the reason for increase in cultism among the young ones, and it was revealed that it gives them a kind of advantage over their peers.”

He added that, “For some, they joined to avoid being intimidated. Whatever reason it is, the blame is on us parents for not caring enough about our children.”

Imohimi appreciated the residents of Surulere for their support in crime fighting and criminality in their community, adding that the level of criminal in the area has drastically reduced.

He urged the residents of Surulere to continue to provide useful information to the police in their area, urging them to report any “unprofessional” conduct of police officers.

He also called on parents and guardians to monitor their children’s movement to prevent them from being used as political thugs during the forthcoming general elections.

Imohimi added, “The election year is approaching and it is time we started talking to ourselves. Do not allow politicians to come and use your children as touts.

“All you need to do is get your PVC and vote peacefully. Let us not allow some people come from elsewhere to disrupt the peace in Lagos.’’

That's the only way they can survive their agberoism.

irrational conclusions, an inspector of police should not be throwing out guesses as facts...

I don't know why this government is just all out to tarnish the image of youth in this country, it just baffles me

Nigeria as a whole

That is why thy keep on killing people without cause. How were they able to come up with such conclusions?

All the youths there na be cultists.

It's actually six and a half

9 out of 10 policemen are thieves in Nigeria

Thanks to our politicians who are encouraging these boys by providing them with weapons to carry out nefarious activities.

Say no to cultism!!!

So he said... and so we heard

Pure and undiluted lie mixed with inglorious fallacy ..

The Nigeria police shld fear God for once especially their oga at the top...

Most of the police officers in Nigeria are themselves cult members.

Wow.

I doubt this very much.

Yes we have a problem with cultism but to say 60% of youths are cultists is hard to believe.

Our youths are not as bad.

At any rate, the research should go into the root cause - Maybe it is Internet + Social media; despair as a result of gloomy economy; bad examples by parents; parental absenteeism, political fraternity that shuts out the majority from public office, political gangsterism that keeps releasing odious air into the public space; high level of corruption in both public and private spheres etc.

What exactly are the root causes?

Terrible stats, where did he get that from.

This kinda reports saddens one's heart so much

Beer parlor statistics

Because the Lagos State Police has consistent encounters with criminals by by virtue of their operations doesn't mean that most youths in Lagos are cultists.

This nonsense was started by Buhari when he said Nigerian youths are lazy. He thinks we're all like his children still living in his house and eating mummy's food while they're almost 30 years of age.

The CP Lagos should be very careful with the way he throws up useless statistics.

Cooked up Justification for extra judicial killings

Sad but true about Lagos,Bayelsa and Rivers states.

[img][/img]okkk

The result of youth restiveness which is a reflection of a failed State like Nigeria.

Shout out to all keyboard warriors.

May your "space bar" never malfunction

rubbish assumption

How did this man arrive at this figure

Not far from the truth....most of the teenagers we have these days are just carried away with too many useless things... if it's not cultism, it will be yahoo. many of them be claiming rapper and musician up and down. they just want fame at all cost.

That doesn't give them the right to antagonise and humiliate every young man on the street.
