Agbonika, who was the keynote speaker at the event, said that cultists always have ways of identifying themselves, especially through their dresses, hairstyles and sign languages. He said: "One of the reasons cultism continue to thrive in campuses is because policemen are not allowed to enter university for operation, except they are called. We commend the convener of the seminar, Mrs. Juliana Francis. This is the only way to cat them young and check cultism. We must talk about parents. Parents should do their best. In Lagos Island, it is difficult to separate cultists from area boys. There is a connection between crime and people living where crime are being perpetrated."
