Whispers of intimidation, forced initiations, and extortion spread through the corridors. The culprits? Not hardened criminals from outside the school but their very own classmates\u2014 a group of teenagers operating under the shadows of the school system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">On March 21, 2025, their reign of fear came to an abrupt end when school authorities raised the alarm, leading to the arrest of eight students suspected of engaging in cult activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The students, aged between 15 and 16, were identified as Bennett Bolawatife, Aluko Taiwo, Kehinde Aluko, Omolaso Waris, Akinola Ifeoluwa, Azeez Hassan, Kilani Babatunde (nicknamed \u201cSoldier\u201d), and Fasedemi Samuel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Their capture was confirmed by the Ogun State Police Command spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">According to Odutola, investigations revealed that the arrested students were members of a clandestine cult known as <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Future Guys (F.T.G.)<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Shockingly, they were allegedly initiated into the group by two senior students in SSS 1\u2014Ebenezer Ope, the self-proclaimed \u201cPresident\u201d of the cult, and Ebenezer Tobi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The students reportedly extorted valuables from their peers and created an atmosphere of fear within the school premises. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Their activities became so disruptive that the Vice Principal, Mr. Alako Oluwole, and a teacher, Mr. Akinseku Oloruntoba Julius, had no choice but to alert the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Responding swiftly, officers from the Ifo Divisional Police Station worked with the school to apprehend the teenage cultists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, has since directed that the suspects be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Beyond legal actions, CP Ogunlowo emphasized the need for mentorship and counselling, hinting that the students would face disciplinary measures while also being guided towards rehabilitation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">He urged parents, teachers, and community leaders to be more involved in monitoring and shaping the values of young people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As the investigation continues, one pressing question remains: How did a secret cult thrive within the walls of a secondary school, right under the noses of parents and teachers?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For weeks, an unsettling fear gripped students at Ifo High School in Ogun State.
