The Lagos State government has introduced a new law to punish the parents of children (young people), who are convicted of cult activities anywhere within the state.

The state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, dropped this hint, on Thursday, at an event organised by the state government to commemorate this year’s Children’s Day Celebration held at Police College, Ikeja.

He, however, emphasised that every parent or guardian would need to inculcate the right values in their children and also monitor and protect them from various harms of the society including cultism as parents or guardians of any child convicted of cultism in the state will no longer be spared.
