SSS Arrests 7 Undergraduate Cultists for Rape

Seven students of one of the Colleges of Education in Kwara State have been apprehended by the State Security Service (SSS), on Friday for alleged abduction and rape of a female student.`

 Williams Alogba, the state Director of the SSS, made this known to journalists in Ilorin while parading the suspects. He said that the female student summoned courage to
report the case to the SSS, adding that investigation led to the arrest of a suspect, who later revealed the identity of the others.

According to Alogba, “It would be recalled that precisely last month, we had a resurgence of cult activities in Kwara State. Two cult members were killed and one was beheaded. We were made to understand that the beheaded cult member was directed to hide the identity of that victim.” As a result of this development, Alogba said, the State Government had decided to clamp down on the activities of the cultists, and mandated the police and the SSS to monitor and curtail such activities.

He continues: “Our efforts yielded fruit. We got information that a student of a College of Education was abducted and raped by two other colleagues… In the course of our investigation, one of the cultists was arrested. He named other people in the gang who were also arrested. In the course of our search, three cutlasses, assorted charms, locally made pistols and masks were recovered from the suspects.” He then appealed to the public to cooperate with security agents by exposing criminals elements.
