A secret cult is as an organization where individuals come together to pledge their allegiances, under an oath and have a social bond of commitment and dedication for the good of the organization.
Their activities are kept secret- thus the name “secret cult”, and kept away from other members of the society or non-members of the group.
Secret cults carry out their meetings when people are not aware of, especially during odd-hours.
They are rampant in higher institutions across the world, and have become a permanent feature in Nigerian campuses.
This vice is alarmingly also finding its way among secondary school students and if not curbed might spread to even primary schools.
Unfortunately, most of these cult groups were formed for positive purposes, but they ended up becoming brutal and harmful to other students and the school communities.
