Following their involvement in cultism , an Ado Ekiti High Court on Thursday sentenced two students of Ekiti state university, Akintunde Olumide and Oladapo Olaoluwa, to three years’ imprisonment.
According to This Day reports, Justice Toyin Abodunde said that the prosecution counsel had been able to establish a case of secret cultism against the accused persons beyond reasonable doubt.
She said she relied heavily on the confessional statement made by the accused persons lending credence to the fact that they were members of Black Axe at the criminal investigation department during interrogation.
The Judge added that the fact that the police found in their custody , small cultlass, a black head warmer, black T.shirt, and black trousers during investigation further confirmed their complicity
The judge held that the short cutlass cannot be measurable with the one used for agriculture or weeding grass. “It is not a tool for education, it is a weapon of danger and incrimination, which should not be seen within the school premises,” she added. More to follow
