No fewer than 23 members of secret cult groups have
publicly renounced cultism at the Ambrose Alli University (AAU ),
Ekpoma , Edo State .
This is as two suspected cultists have been arrested in the
university town of Ekpoma for attempting to forcefully recruit
some students into their cult group.
The repentant cultists renounced membership of secret cults at a
church service organized by the Chapel of the Good Shepherd
Church and the Redeemed Christian Church of God in
conjunction with Ambrose Alli University .
Speaking at the event , the dean of Students Affairs of the
university, Prof. Isaac Aigbedion enthused that the renunciation
marked the beginning of a new dawn in the university .
Aigbedion said renouncing cultism meant abandoning reckless
life style and evil ways , adding that no good thing comes from
the devil .
“ I know today, the devil have been put to shame through these
young lads who have decided to abandon him for God , leaving
the bush for a straight road that leads to God ’ s own way.
“ After today’ s renunciation , I am quite sure that a lot of parents
and guidance would know that cultism has been swept away
from AAU and Esan West Local Government Area ” , he said .
In a brief sermon by the pastor of the Good Shepherd Church ,
Rev. Innocent Ebbeh praised the student for taking the decision
to resource cultism , noting that by the decision they have opened
positive doors to their futures .
He warned the congregation to be mindful of the decision they
make in life , pointing out that choices made by humans in life
either makes or mar his or her future.
High points of the event were prayer and deliverance exercises
for repentant cultists , conducted by the zonal pastor of Edo
Province 4 , Benin, of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG ), Pastor Allan Dirisu and Pastor (Mrs ) Hilda Aigbedion of
RCCG, Ekpoma .
Meanwhile , two suspected cultists have been arrested in
Ekpoma , Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State , while
attempting to forcefully recruit some students into their cult
group.
They were apprehended and handed over to security agency by
the Association of Indigenes Against Cultism in Esan West, and
were paraded at the renunciation venue .
Items recovered from the suspected cultists are two cut to size
guns and one small axe otherwise known as battle axe .
