A 500- level computer science student of Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna and two others have been arrested by the Niger State Police Command for alleged cultism.The trio, according to the police, belong to
Neo-Black Movement (NBM) a.k.a Black Axe
The state Police Commissioner, Mr. Olusola Amore, said two locally made pistols, three live ammunition 9mm
caliber, three axes and three pairs of fraternity uniforms were recovered at the spot of their arrest.The 500-level student, who claimed to be the leader of the gang, 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.”
