Benin Police Arrests 14 Junior Secondary School Students For Alleged Cultism
Secondary School students over their alleged
involvement in cult-related activities in Benin, the
state capital.
It was learnt that the students, aged between 12
and 15, were nabbed when a crack team of
policemen stormed Oguola Secondary School at
Saint Saviour in Ikpoba Okha Local Government
Area of the state last Thursday.
No fewer then 56 persons had been arrested by the
Nigeria Police for cult-related activities in the state.
According to a source in the school, eight of the
suspects were apprehended at flash spots within
the school compound.
Their arrest, it was learnt, had prompted the police
to conduct a search on some students in the
classrooms, where items believed to be emblems
of notorious cult groups were recovered from
them.
It was also learnt that reports made against the
students by some parents may have been
responsible for the arrest.
However, the Principal of school has appealed to
the police command to release those found to be
innocent at the end of their investigations.
Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer,
DSP Stephen Onwochei, on the arrest were
unsuccessful.
It was, however, learnt that 14 suspects were
undergoing questioning at the State Criminal
Investigation Department, Benin.
