Popular skit maker Cute Abiola has sparked reactions online after making a public appeal to individuals involved in cult groups, urging them to redirect their influence towards tackling insecurity in the country.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, he called for Nigerians to recognize what he described as the strength and influence of cult groups, suggesting that such power could be used positively.
“It is time for all Nigerians to know your power. It is time for all Nigerians to know that cultism is a good thing. It is time for all Nigerians to know that the cultism you are doing has a lot of advantages than the disadvantages,” he said.
He added that many areas where cult activities are reportedly active are also among those affected by banditry and other forms of insecurity, urging a rethink of how such influence could be redirected.
He also suggested that cult groups could redirect their influence towards protecting affected communities across the country.
“Please, all Nigerian cultists, come out for us. Let Nigerians be proud of you this time around. You can do this for us, please show your power,” he added.
The remark comes amid rising insecurity in the country, following recent school abductions in Oyo State where over 40 children, teachers, and a principal were reportedly taken.
While some users questioned his statement, others debated it within the broader conversation on insecurity and the role of youth groups in society.
