When the phenomenon of cultism first reared it’s ugly head in our society, it was mainly a clandestine secret society of university undergraduates in fraternal jolly. Today, all hell has been let lost as every nook and cranny has been invaded by young men with scanty to zero education all maiming and killing themselves in the name of cultism. People are being threatened, blackmailed and forced into one cult group or the other, and some are even killed for refusing to join some cult groups.
Information reaching our news desk from Uwelu Spare Part end of Benin City has it that one Oveseri Omo who is a auto welder may have been killed for refusal to join a notorious cult group ( name withheld). According to our investigation, the young man went missing after he was allegedly threatened with death for failure to join a cult group. The said Oveseri Omo was said to have taking the bold step of reporting and arresting some boys who have been pressuring him to come and become a member of their gang.
