16-year-old Ifechukwu Atunanya, has been arrested while
having s*x with over 52 young men inside a bush in what
looked like an initiation ceremony. She claims she was forced
to sleep with every male member of the cult during her
initiation. Ifechukwu was among 75 suspected cult members
who were rounded up by Anambra State Police
command. All the suspects were alleged to be members of the
Supreme Vikings Confraternity and were all arrested in a
bush in Awka during the initiation of new members.
Recovered from them were guns, matchet and several wraps
of Indian hemp. According to the state Commissioner of
Police, Hosea Karma, the police acted on an intelligence
report that the cult members and their new entrants were in
a bush performing some rituals. Part of their ritual, he
explained, includes sleeping with prospective female members.
He said they do that in order to secure their oath of
secrecy. It was during the raid that 16-year-old
Ifechukwu was arrested. At the police station, Ifechukwu,
a secondary school dropout and member, claimed that she had
to travel to Anambra from Abuja just to witness the
initiation of new members.
“I joined them three months ago and during my initiation, I
was forced to have s*x with every registered member of the
cult present that night. I was given a sedative so as not to
feel what they were doing. It was not easy, but I bore the
pain,” she said. Her parents, who are from Anambra State,
are still alive. However, Ifechukwu said that they were not
aware of her secret cult activities. “I got to know about the
cult activity through a friend. She assured me that all the
connection that I needed in this life will be made if I joined
the group.
I am from a poor family and I wanted to be the light that
will change the situation in my family. “She never told me
that I will be defiled till the day of initiation. The day we
were initiated, I was the only girl in their midst. Although,
I have not started reaping the gains, I was determined to be
a successful member. I was further convinced to stay
because I discovered that they are more honourable than the
others. I am sorry and would love to be given the
opportunity to go back to school. I never knew that it is
crime to be a member.
I am sorry,” Ifechukwu pleaded. Another member,
Ugochukwu Agbazuo, who also spoke with Saturday Sun,
said that they are all undergraduates of various institutions in
Anambra. “Apart from some of our national leaders, we are
all students. I was initiated into the cult while I was still
in my first year. I had no choice but to join them because of
the harassment in school. I discovered that most of the
Engineering students in my school were members of different
cult groups. “Again, if you identify with a known cult in
school, the lecturers will respect you. You don’t have to buy
handouts or offer bribe to get credit in a course. This was
why I joined them,” he said. Ugochukwu insisted that they
did not steal or harass innocent people.
