“Two days ago, the Governor addressed elder statemen in the State that he had declared cultism, gangsterism and thuggery as a terrorism act in Ogun State, but reverse is the case if the SA to the Governor is still habouring cultists at the State Legislative Quarters, an apartment given to him at Abeokuta.

“Yesterday, I and other former NANS Chairman in Ogun State gathered to discuss the affairs of our dear organization; NANS, National Association of Ogun State Students, NAOSS.

“We have been to the Nigeria Police; no help is coming from far and near. We have been to many quarters, all they are telling us is that he is a state boy, is this true? Can the Governor be talking about eradicating cultism while still harbouring cultists?
