Police in Ogun State have detained three secondary school pupils over a suspected cult initiation. The arrests happened in Owode-Yewa, where officers moved in on a gathering known among such groups as 'Kito Day.' The pupils are between 12 and 18 years old, a spread that alarmed community leaders when it became public. Police said the raid disrupted the ceremony before new members could be formally admitted. The suspects are in custody while investigators work to identify the older coordinators behind the event. Officers also want to know how children that young came into contact with cult recruitments in the first place. The command urged parents to track their children's movements and friendships more closely. Cult groups have kept reaching into secondary schools in the south-west, and the police argue that early arrest is the surest way to break that chain.
