Concerned with the involvement of youths in cult activities, the Commissioner of Police for the FCT, Musa Kimo, has enjoined parents, guardians and religious leaders to rise up to the occasion by providing sound moral and spiritual guidance for the youths whose future is seriously being threatened by the ugly menace of cultism.
Kimo noted that the involvement of the youths in cult activities is constituting a serious security threat to the society.
He advised youths to focus more on their education and shun any act that could truncate their future dreams.
He gave the advice while receiving security brief from Bwari Divisional Police Officer on the arrest of some suspected cultists at Kuduru village.
