The police in Enugu State say they have begun a campaign aimed at eliminating cultism and related social vices in schools in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Enugu that the campaign would be taken to every nook and cranny of the state.
He said, “The Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV) is taking us to schools and colleges where we are telling students about the need for one to become a champion by following the road map.
“This road map of becoming a champion talks about the need for one not to be involved in crime and criminality, because as soon as you get yourself involved in crime and criminality, the road to becoming a champion will be dimmed.
“So, for you to be a champion, you better start on time by shunning acts of cultism and other vices. This is exactly what we are doing.
“We have taken it (campaign) to schools. We are also taking it to the rural communities.
“I can tell you that the cases of youths wanting to join cults have gone down with the level of sensitisation that the command is doing.’’
