IN its determination to stamp out cultism and other anti-social behaviours on the campus, the management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, has suspended six students who confirmed their membership of a secret cult.
According to a statement by the university’s public relations officer, Mr Abiodun Olarewaju, the university management on Monday, 2nd of July, 2018 received information that two students were forcefully initiated into cultism outside the campus.
“Promptly, the security unit of the university swung into action and, after a thorough preliminary investigation, 12 students were apprehended and handed over to the Osun State command of the Nigeria Police to assist with further professional investigation,” he stated.
Abiodun cited a special release signed by the university’s registrar, Mrs. Margaret Omosule, which confirmed that after the investigation of the suspected students by the Nigeria Police, the university on Monday, 20th August 2018, received a detailed report which confirmed that six students had admitted their membership of proscribed groups, thus breaching their Matriculation Oath, Code of Conduct and other university regulations.

“Management hereby uses this medium to assure the university community and all other stakeholders, most especially the students’ populace, that adequate measures have been put in place to secure lives and property and ensure a peaceful environment for all residents on the university estate,” the statement read.
It also advised all members of the university community to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious activities which could undermine the peaceful coexistence of members of the community.
