The
Police Command in Enugu State has arrested two cult kingpins for
allegedly initiating male and female secondary school students into
various cult groups in the state.
The
command’s spokesman, SP Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement on Tuesday
that the feat was achieved by operatives of the command’s Anti-Cultism
Unit after an investigation.
Amaraizu noted that the suspects included Emmanuel Onuh, 18, and Chukwuebuka Egwu, 19.
He
said that the duo had indulged in cult activities and related crimes
for some years until they were arrested by the operatives of the
Anti-Cultism Unit.
The
police spokesman said the suspects were allegedly gang raping their
female victims who were mostly secondary school students before
initiating them into a female cult group identified as White Angels
Cult.
Amaraizu said that White Angels Cult is a sub-cult group for female folks in T-stars and Ayez confraternities.
He
said that one of the suspects, Onuh, revealed that he was a plumber
living with his sister at Mount Street, Enugu, from Isiogbo Nara in
Nkanu East Local Government Area; and that he was the Coordinator of
T-Star confraternity in the state.
He
said Onuh joined cult group in 2015 as an SSS I student of a secondary
school in Enugu (name withheld) and that he was initiated at a bush
behind the said school.
“I
joined the cult group out of peer influence and they promised me that
they would always be there for me in case anybody troubled me and that I
would become a notable person in the society.
“And
that I can have any woman any time; but I regret that the contrary is
the case now,’’ the police spokesman quoted Onuh as confessing.
He
further revealed that the last secondary school girls that Onuh and his
gang-raped were brought by one Oliver also known as Chaplet, who was a
conductor to the driver that normally brought those girls on school bus
after their school hours.
“On
his part, the other member of the cult group, Egwu, who is also known
as Killer, is an ardent member of the T-Star confraternity that hails
from Amoli Awgu community and also lives at Mount Street, Enugu.
Amaraizu
revealed that Egwu was initiated into the cult group in 2014 when he
was in JSS III but that was at Coal Camp axis of the state when he
eventually dropped out from school and later joined the work of tiling
and from there he met Emmanuel Onuh.
He
said that Egwu also said interested secondary school girls were usually
gang-raped before they were initiated into the White Angels Cult.
He said a full-scale investigation into the incident had begun.
