The Management of Ibrahim Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL), Niger Stated, has expressed concern over a report that emanated from the Niger State Police Command that it has arrested three students of the University involved in cultism.
The Management stated this in a statement issued and made available to the newsmen by the Deputy Registrar, Information of IBBUL,Alhaji Baba Akote over the weekend in Minna.
The statement added that the University obtained the information about the involvement of the students in cult activities through a statement issued and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State Command, DSP Wasiu Abiodun in “Crime Bulletin” on Wednesday, 9th August, 2023, which said the students were arrested in Lapai and that they allegedly confessed their involvement and belonging to a certain Cult group.
According to Akote, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Abu Kasim Adamu, has since set up a credible Committee to look into the facts of the matter, while assuring that appropriate measures will be taken by the Management after the investigation, which will certainly serve as deterrent to others.
The University Management equally seized the opportunity to reiterate its commitment towards strengthening collaboration with all relevant security agencies with a view to eradicating cultism on the campus.
It thereby advised the general public, especially parents and guardians to remain calm and always monitor the movement of their wards.
