As part of the ongoing crackdown on cultism and other related criminal activities following the recent security breach on campus, the Management of Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba, through its joint security team, has arrested two additional suspected cultists on campus.
Our Kogi State Correspondent, reports that Uredo Omale, the Public Relations Officer Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday said they are Fidelis Atuluku, Matric. No. 2026SE1252 and Monday Okolo, Matric. No. 2026SE1247. Both are 100 Level students of the Department of Social Studies/Education, Faculty of Education.
They were trailed based on tip-off and caught in possession of charms while on the campus on Tuesday, 23rd June 2026. They have confessed to being members of the Juris Confraternity, and that they were initiated before they secured admission into the University.
They will be handed over to the appropriate law enforcement agency for further investigation and necessary legal action.
Reacting to the development, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Salisu Ogbo Usman, reaffirmed the University's resolve to sustain its war against cultism and other criminal elements until sanity is restored on campus.
He advised parents and guardians to put close watch on their children and wards and be mindful of the company they keep so that they would not be lured into cultism and other criminal activities.
He disclosed that the University has commenced the profiling of cult members who voluntarily submit themselves to the authorities, sign undertaking and pledging not to engage in such acts in the future.
He noted that the window remains open for other willing members to take advantage of this opportunity by reporting to the Office of the Chief Security Officer or the Office of the Dean, Student Affairs.
Professor Usman also revealed that a formal renunciation ceremony will be organised as soon as possible for those who are prepared to publicly denounce their membership of cult groups and embrace a lawful and responsible lifestyle on campus.
Professor Usman thanked the security agencies, religious community, traditional rulers and voluntary individuals for their continued support towards ensuring sanity in and around the University.
He encouraged students to continue to support the ongoing efforts aimed at maintaining a peaceful, secure and conducive learning environment.
