The cult by the name young blud saints is operating within Nairobi that targets youths especially students in the University.
The cult believes that there are three gods namely: true god,false god and random god.
They also believe that the random god is the one who fails them because he is not firm with his decisions and that his answers are not straight.
Members are expected to sacrifice what they love most to prove loyalty to the organization.
The Director of Criminal Investigations is cautioning members of the public and urge parents to keep a keen eye on their children to deter them from being recruited to such evil organizations.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is closely monitoring the activities of the cult.
Why do undergraduates join secret cults? The reasons are many but here are five of them;
1. Protection
Every association has something it promises its members. Protection is the foremost promise cult groups offer their "recruits" as one of the campus cult groups would call their new catches.
Of course, no student would like to be on campus to suffer. And getting protection from friends is an idea innocent students would gladly embrace.
Meanwhile, where naive students walk into such groups not knowing the meaning of protection the group is offering them, others walk into the group knowing fully well that being a cult member covers them under a protective umbrella of a secret association.
2. Power
Power gives you wings. Wings that can make you fly above everyone else on campus and lord your presence over everyone. This is the kind of narrative some cult groups deploy to lure innocent students into their midst.
And any student who feels having such power would make him cut corners, escape lecturers punishments and feel like a lord among his peers would buy the rhetoric and get initiated in no time.
3. Revenge
The distasteful sweet feeling that comes with harming someone in return for an injury is what propelled some students to join cult gang.
The need to exert revenge on a campus bully, lecturer, or a fellow student who wronged another is a prominent reason for joining among cult members.
This explains why there is always a reprisal attack each time a cult group strikes another. In fact, revenge among cult groups is a horrible game of numbers.
4. Low Self-esteem
The quest to find a way to express oneself could lead a student with low self-esteem to join cult group to feel important. Cultism offers a fertile ground for such students to find ugly confidence in violence and dastardly acts.
5. Peer Influence
Peer pressure has been identified as one of the reasons why undergraduates joint cults. Once a students is initiated it is upon him to persuade his friends to see reasons why being a campus big boy is tied to being a cult member.
