The Lagos state police command has arrested a deadly group of people whose specialty is to organise primary and secondary school students and initiate them into a deadly cult group known as Awawa. They were able to lay their hands on these suspects due to the help of a particular observant teacher.

It was gathered that the said lady who dispenses her duties as a Guidance and Counselling teacher in a public primary and secondary school named Egan Community School had noticed a sinister mark on the lower jaws of some students.

She called out one of the pupils who bore this incision and it was from the lips of this pupil that she heard that the mark was a symbol clearly indicating that he, alongside other pupils, were initiated members of the Awawa cult group. This caused her to cry out to the school authorities.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that 12 of the primary school pupils were certified members of the cult. Even more, the student who had recruited the 12 seemingly innocent children was also found out.
