INTRODUCTION

The always try as much as possible to remove any human obstacle on their way. Many are holding the good result they cannot defend.

In the same vein, many students do not even know why they involve themselves in cultism activities in secondary schools. The worrisome thing about them is their notorious trademark, which comprises of crude and modern made daggers, axes, gums and knives to attach innocent students and teachers.
