The Delta State government has blamed “parents of yesterday” for the increasing rate of cultism in secondary schools in the State.
The Commissioner for Information, Delta State, Mr Charles Aniagwu, advised the “parents of today to avoid such pitfall” where their children will be involved in cultism.
He also said that the state government will shut down secondary schools engaged in alleged cultism.
He said, “Let nobody make any mistake to think that cultism is restricted to Delta.
“What we are suffering today flows from the failure of parents of yesterday, so parents of today must avoid such pitfalls.
“Beyond the fact that we have asked the supervisory ministry to increase supervision, the authority in any school where cultism is found will be called to answer,’’ Aniagwu stressed.”
