The growth of cultism in Makurdi Benue state has taken another dimension; the federal government through the parents, teachers and institution has put in so much effort to eradicate or to control the menace of cultism in makurdi.

It is evident that the desire of power, peer group and family background are the major factors that influence its growth.

On the 8th of June 2016, there have being a war with so much bloodshed in Makurdi; report has it that about 7 cult members were killed in federal university of agriculture makurdi and three female student were raped.
