The Kwara State Directorate of the State Security Service (DSS) paraded seven students of tertiary institutions in Ilorin, the state capital over alleged abduction and rape.
Other offences allegedly committed by the suspects include possession of fake currency notes.
The suspects are Abdulrasak Abubakar, Musa Sikirullahi; Kamaldeen Isiaka; Olanrewaju Lawal; Ibrahim Olanrewaju, Tunde Yusuf and Abdularaham Jimoh
The state Director of the DSS, Williams Ologba told reporters before parading the suspects that items recovered from them included cult masks, charms, locally made pistol, three different sizes of cutlasses, and N72, 000 fake currency notes in N500 denominations.
He added that the suspects were students of one of the state colleges of education, saying “there was information that a female student of one of the colleges of education in the state was abducted and raped by four other people.”
Ologba, who said there was a resurgence of cult activities in the state, said investigations had revealed that cult members have declared every July as their month of cult activities.
He said two of the suspects allegedly raped one of their female colleagues, adding that the culprits who were arrested, subsequently named other members involved in the crime.
The security official appealed to members of the public to expose suspected cult members in their communities as part of measures to keep them out of the society.
