He also disclosed that in the last two weeks, no fewer than six married women and a number of minors have been raped by a gang of rapists who have laid siege in different parts of the state.
Kalu added that the police are committed to stamping out rape and cultism, which have become major crimes in the state.
Cultism has been one of Nigeria’s problem especially in tertiary institutions. It would be recalled that not long ago, some suspected cultists wrecked havoc in Benue State University.
Also in June, a clash between two rival cults claimed the lives of two people while one other person was abducted in Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State.
