Cultism: Federal Poly Offa Suspends Two Students
By Steve Oni, Ilorin
The Management of Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara state, has suspended two students of the institution, Tajudeen Selim and Temitope Omooshosuspected to be cult members.
Earlier before the students were paraded by the police, according to the management, the Institution reported the incidence of forceful initiation to security agencies when the student who was forcefully initiated lodged a complaint to the institution, adding that the police quick response and intervention was evidently responsible for the arrest.
“The two suspected students were suspended indefinitely pending the outcome of the police investigation and further finding on the matter. Adewusi Vincent who was mentioned along with the two has ceased to be a student of the institution having been withdrawn from the Polytechnic since 2017 for poor performance.
“The Management wishes to state unequivocally that cases of cultism had been a thing of past in the institution as the new management under Dr. LateefAdemola Olatunji has purged the institution of all forms of cultism, gangsterism and other anti social vices since he came on board as Rector in 2017.The Management has been dealing decisively with any student suspected to be involved in cultism or any criminal acts. Other offences such as examination malpractices, sexual harassment are also gross misconduct at the Polytechnic which attract outright expulsion from the institution. Students found culpable are equally handed over to the Law Enforcement Agents for prosecution.
“The Management, through the Directorate of Students’ Affairs has put a lot of measures in place to checkmate cultism with the introduction of the use of security form for newly admitted students; regular sensitization of students where they are admonished to steer clear of cultism, hooliganism and other forms of social menace. And that they should be of good conduct everywhere they are in order to ensuring peaceful co-existence within and outside the polytechnic campuses and maintaining harmonious relationship with other colleagues and the host communities.
“Since then, the Students Union Executives and other students have been well behaved and have not been found wanting both in character and learning, as it is on record that the Polytechnic enjoys a serene atmosphere, peace and tranquility than ever before. It was likely because of the institution’s zero tolerance for cultism and stern sanctions on offenders who contravene and breach the rule that led the suspects to have taken themselves outside Offa to perpetrate the acts.
Federal Polytechnic Offa wish to reaffirm its commitment to eliminate cultism and other related behaviours completely from the institution”, said the management.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
