Seun Kuti, popular Nigerian musician and the youngest son of
the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has called for a law against
intimidation by cultists.
He made the call following the death of singer Ilerioluwa
Aloba, aka Mohbad, whose demise had sparked speculations of cult-like
affiliation and activities in the entertainment industry.
While reacting to the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s
death on his Instagram page, he opined that Mohbad’s death was cult associated,
adding that the menace had long been in existence and a scourge to the coming
generation.
He claimed that cultism has eaten deep into the Nigerian
system such that law enforcement agents and other self-acclaimed law abiding
citizens are not exempted from affiliations with cult groups.
He added that his personal experience while in detention was
a testament to his claim, stating that quite a number of officer’s declared
their affiliations to him, reckoning that he was also one of them.
According to him, “When I was locked up numerous police
officers and their ogas told me their different cultist affiliation thinking I
was one of them so they could help me, even the police are cultists. Now u are
asking cultist to investigate cultists. #getthesax.”
However, he charged lawmakers to take immediate action by
making stringent laws against cultism and cultist intimidation, noting that if
not adequately tackled, an avalanche of cultists would erode the future
generations.
“A nation of cowards!! We need a MOHBAD Law against cultist
intimidation in all our institutions. Anything short of that is nothing!! The
National Assembly must do this monumental work to protect future generations
from this scourge. #mohbadlaw”, he said.
