The Kwara State Police Command has successfully taken three suspected cultists into custody following a swift investigation into the abduction and subsequent murder of a student from Kwara State Polytechnic. The suspects, who were identified during a coordinated raid by anti-cultism operatives, are alleged to have kidnapped the victim before fatally assaulting him in a localized dispute linked to campus cult activities. During their interrogation, the suspects reportedly confessed to their direct involvement in the incident, detailing how they lured the student to an isolated area before the situation escalated into violence. Police authorities have confirmed that they are currently expanding the investigation to uncover the broader network behind the group and to determine if other individuals were involved in the planning or execution of the crime. This development has brought a measure of relief to the university community, which has been reeling from the tragedy and increasing concerns over campus safety, with the police command reiterating its zero-tolerance policy toward cultism and criminality in higher institutions. The suspects are currently being processed for formal arraignment, as the police continue to call on students to report suspicious activities to ensure a secure learning environment across the state.
