In places like Lagos, the advertising capital, and the oil hub Port Harcourt, cults have been known to recruit teenagers into street gangs that serve as an education floor for their members if they make it to university.
In April, citizens of Lagos and neighboring Ogun State resorted to the formation of surveillance teams amid reports that many gangsters belonging to One Million Boys and Awawa Boys were attacking certain neighborhoods.
There has been a lockdown in the state to prevent the spread of coronavirus and some citizens have said that gangs have become bolder and are robbing homes.
Soon there were more and more reports, especially on social media, of gangs attacking other people in other communities in what appeared to be massive, coordinated attacks.
Police have denied widespread robberies in the state and called reports of panic gangsters “fake news” as a prelude to launching attacks.
Police have shown that they have arrested more than 200 suspected cult members for their involvement in a gang war that erupted after a cult leader was killed in a fight.
Roland enrolled in a cult to get coverage from his university in eastern Nigeria.
One of his friends robbed a Brotherhood member, which caused a fight. Roland became involved in the fight and attacked him twice.
He reported the attacks to university authorities, but there is little the campus security guard can do.
These unarmed personal guards were not and were not suitable for cultists, who carry rifles and other deadly weapons.
Roland’s search for the “less violent brotherhood” led him to the Buccaneers after turning down an invitation to sign up for the famed Black Axe.
But once inside, he lived among rival groups.
The formula of brotherhood in Nigeria has not been so violent.
This task began in 1952, the last years of British colonial rule, through an organization of idealistic young people.
Among them is Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka of the prestigious University of Ibadan in Oyo State in southwestern Nigeria.
