Worried
by the killing of a corps member serving in Cross River State by suspected cult
members at the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State last week, the police in
the state have begun what they called collation of data for all the suspected
undergraduate cult members in the state.
Briefing
journalists on the achievements of the command during the last Yuletide and the
prospects for 2018, the Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, said having a data
bank was necessary to deal with cult-related issues in all the high
institutions in the state.
Ezike
said, “Cult is a peculiar issue. In dealing with it, you must find out what
causes it in a university, polytechnic or the other. You must know which cult
group is the strongest in the Imo State University, Federal Polytechnic, Nekede
or the Federal University of Technology, Owerri or any other institution in the
state.
“We
have dealt with it ruthlessly in the last eight months. Students now sit
examinations without any fear of being hurt or victimised by cult members. The
case of the killing of the serving corps member means we need to do more.
“Though
we have arrested the prime suspect, having a data bank is still very
important.”
