Chief Commissioner of the Scout Association of Nigeria, Dave Padopas-Awunah, has said no fewer than 20 formidable cult groups operate in the country.
At a press conference to announce the organisation in Abuja, he said authorities were disturbed by emerging vices and drug abuse involving children and youths across the federation.
Padopas-Awunah promised that his association had put in place machinery to fight the menace.
A study by the group, he said, revealed that there were 20 formidable cult organisations operating in Nigeria.
He noted that elsewhere in Africa, the problem of child soldiers prevails, but in Nigeria, vices like armed robbery, organ harvesting, cultism and drug abuse are prevalent among the youths.
