Anti-cultism crusade at the University of Ibadan, Ibadan over the weekend yielded fruits as no fewer than 10 students renounced their membership of various secret cults.

The symbolic ceremony, which took place at the Lady Bank Anthony Hall of the university, was attended by a large gathering of students.

Although the ceremony was meant to be a symposium on the effect of cultism on university graduate employment, an emotive speech by the Executive Director, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, moved the students to confession.

The former cult members surrendered their arms and ammunition to the officiating religious leaders, who were supervised by the NOA boss.

Speaking before the confession, Runsewe lamented that academic institutions in the country have departed from their traditional role of imparting knowledge and have “become breeding environment for murderers and various sorts of criminals.”

“The menace has serious devastating physical, emotional, psychological and social implications for both students and parents. Students that are in secret cults exhibit negative traits such as truancy, vandalism, stealing and constantly resort to violence as means of expressing their wrongly perceived discontent and displeasure,” he noted.
