The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two men, whose
names they wouldn’t disclose yet, for allegedly initiating primary
school pupils into a deadly cult gang in Lagos state known as ‘the Awawa
Boys’.

The police said they rescued 12 children, whose ages
ranged from six to 16 years, including a 16-year-old girl, from the cult
gang.

The rescued children are currently undergoing psychology tutorial at the command’s Gender Unit.

The
police said it was a Guardian and Counselling teacher at the Egan
Community School in Lagos who uncovered the cultists’ initiation
ceremony plan. The school comprises both primary and secondary levels.

The
teacher was said to have noticed a particular incision on the lower jaw
of some of the students and decided to ask questions about it, to which
one of the children confessed that any school pupil or student seen
with the mark was a member of the Awawa cult group.

Consequent upon the discovery, the teacher raised an alarm and the school authorities reported the matter to the police.

The
state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, said that acting on the
report, he directed the Gender Section of the Command to investigate the
allegation of initiation into an unlawful society affecting 12 children
whose ages ranged from 8 to 16 years, the 16-year-old girl being the
oldest and only female among them.

Edgal said that during
interrogation, the girl confessed that she did take the rest of the
children for initiation, and that the symbol on their jaws was that of
the Awawa Boys.

“Two adult suspects behind the initiation are
already in police custody and are helping police investigation.
Investigation is ongoing with a view to arresting other members of the
Awawa group for prosecution,” the police boss added.
