The National Human Rights Commission , NHRC, has called for strict legislation to ban cultism in the country's institutions of learning. The commission suggested that the legislation be made in such a way that it will not affect the rights of the student population in forming societies and organisations that promote human rights as well as intellectual curiosity and diversity.
Cult-related violence leads to the loss of innocent lives, shattered families and devastated communities as cultists operate with impunity. The dashboard also showed that a total of 2011 killings were recorded in April out of which, 82 are attributed to bandits alone, while 99 cases of kidnapping were recorded with North -West region leading with 74 in April and added that 13 security and law enforcement agents were also killed in April.
