Lagos LG chairman vows to hunt down cultist in Agboyi-Ketu

Dele Oshinowo, the LCDA chairman of Agboyi-Ketu.

Oshinowo said some parents are supporting their children, who are cultists.

The Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) on Monday cautioned cultists in the area to desist from their activities or face the ultimate consequences.

The Executive Chairman of the LCDA, Dele Oshinowo, read the riot act while responding to some residents’ concerns about the nefarious activities of cultists in different parts of the council.

Oshinowo, who spoke at a Stakeholders’ Engagement on Peace and Security Issues in the council, said that his administration had a marching order to hunt down all cultists.

He urged residents and parents not to hide the criminals but to identify and report them.

“Our parents and our youths must wake up and report these criminals. We cannot do it alone without your support.

“If you give the council and security agencies 100% support, many of the security issues will end. Cultists do not deserve to live among us because they are murderers.

“If you know you are a member of any cult group, stay away from this council now. We will not have mercy on you when we pick you up.

“We are hunting you and the security is coming for you now more than ever before. We will pick you up and destroy you,” the council boss warned.

Appealing to cultists to desist from cultism, Oshinowo said he would not allow anybody to destroy Agboyi Ketu.

He said that he had got reports of the evils of cultists in some part of the council, saying the time of the perpetrators would be up soon.

Oshinowo decried that some parents were supporting their children, who are cultists.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
