An undergraduate student at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abdul Quadri Olamilekan Tijani, has raised the alarm over an alleged threat to his life by some suspected cult group.
Tijani in a petition written to the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, and obtained by newsmen, alleged that he has been harassed and threatened by a group of students whom he believes to be Aiye Fraternity members, demanding that he joins their cult.
The 19-year-old undergraduate lamented that the suspected cult members have been harassing him both on and off campus.
He added that he has received threatening phone calls and text messages and has seen people who he believes to be cult members lurking around his dormitory.
The student, who has since fled into hiding out of concern for his safety, recounted how the cult members first approached him about joining them four months ago.
He stated that he was pressured and threatened to consider joining the cult group, but he ultimately decided against it.
Since then, he lamented that the cult members have become increasingly aggressive in their attempts to force him to join.
He, however, said things got more difficult when one of his friends who was threatened to join was killed, while his corpse was dumped at the nearby stream in the Abeokuta area of the state.
The student said he had no idea why he was being targeted, urging the police boss to investigate the allegation.
While expressing readiness to cooperate with police for investigation, Tijani said he is currently hiding because his life and anyone around him is at stake.
