”We decided to do customized vests, with the inscription ‘Penalty Guys’. This was what attracted the girls and they agreed to be initiated,” Adio said.

CP Iliyasu has however, ordered that the suspects be transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping and Cultism Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and prosecution.

We need to be sensitive as parents to what our children do and the kind of friends they keep.  Consequently, when we notice they are on the wrong path, we should do everything to steer them back to the right path.
