46 Uniabuja Students Arrested For Alleged Cult Activities
The Gwagwalada Divisional Police Officer (DPO), CSP Dankwano Wilson, who confirmed on Sunday the arrest of the forty six students of the University of Abuja (UniAbuja) for allegedly engaging in cult activities in Gwako village of Gwagwalada area council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Dankwano reportedly said the suspected cultists were arrested around 4:00am at a forest in Gwako village, after some vigilante members who were moving around the bush suddenly came across them. The vigilante quickly came to inform the police who immediately led the police team to the scene, where 46 of them were arrested on the spot, while others took to their heels.
The suspected cultists were apprehended after a security intelligent, while most of the arrested cultists who are in their early 30s are students of the University of Abuja.
The suspects, who are students of the University of Abuja, reportedly went into a thick forest in Gwako, some few kilometres away from the university’s permanent site to conduct ‘election’ in order to elect their leader, when they were arrested.
“All the forty six suspects have been transferred to the office of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the FCT police command for further interrogation,” DPO reportedly said.
As at the time of filing this report, efforts to get official reaction of the University’s spokesperson, Hajiya Maryam Mohammed, on the incident were not successful as she did not pick calls put across to her mobile line.
