The guest speaker revealed that nothing meaningful could come out of cultism as all its principles were against the law and that members were initiated based on their ability to murder, rob or prostitute in the case of female members.
Chief Opone said that cultist hardly graduate from schools or worse get killed before graduation making life frustrating to their parents who bear the pains of losing loved ones.
