One of the trio a 500- level computer science student of Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, Niger State and leader of the gang claims he became a cultist because he desires to rid the FUT, Minna of injustice.
The 500-level student said he was initiated into the gang four years ago to fight injustice and oppression in FUT, Minna and also get connected.He said..
”I have been in this gang for four years, but I have never fought against any form of injustice because our school, FUT, Minna, is calm. My parents are in Lagos and still together but they are not aware that I am in this problem. In fact, I am regretting being in this mess,” the self-confessed cult member said.On his advice to other students, he said,” I don’t advise even my enemy to belong to this gang because there is nothing to gain from it. I personally am regretting now. Cultism is not good”.
Tears rolled down his cheek as he spoke.On whether he knew of other members, he simply said,
”I am about to graduate; so I don’t know of other members.”
