SOME school-based cult groups in Edo
State have come together in an alliance against the spate of
kidnappings, armed robberies and other violent crimes in the state.
The cult members, belonging to various
fraternities in schools across the state converged at the Sand Beach
Resorts, Benin, on Saturday for a summit tagged “Interactive Peace
Summit: Strategy for Social Cohesion.”
At the summit, the groups, which came
together under the aegis of Rainbow Consolidated Forum said they were
not satisfied with the spate of violent crimes and insecurity in the
state and vowed to fight the situation.
Some of the fraternities at the summit
included the Green Circuit (a.k.a Maphites), Norsemen (aka Vikings),
Black Axe, Eiye confraternity, Family Fraternity of Nigeria and Avarian
Organization of Nigeria.
Governor Adam Oshiomhole, Oba of Benin,
the Edo State Commissioner of Police, the State Security Service, and
the Commandant of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps sent
representatives to the summit of the cultists.
