Kogi State University Arrests Two Students for Cultism

Kogi State University, located in Anyigba, intensified its anti-cultism campaign, leading to the arrest of two first-year students, Fide Atuluku (matric no. 2026SE1252) and Monday Okolo (matric no. 2026SE1247), on June 23, 2026. The arrests were made by the university's joint security team following credible intelligence reports.

Preliminary investigations revealed that both students were allegedly members of a cult group known as the Juris Confraternity. The suspects confessed to their membership, and the university management has referred the case to appropriate law enforcement agencies for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Vice Chancellor Salisu Ogbo Usman reiterated the institution's determination to eliminate cultism and criminal activities on campus. He urged parents and guardians to monitor their children closely to prevent them from being lured into cultism.

The university plans to organize a formal renunciation ceremony for students willing to publicly denounce their cult affiliations.
