There had been cases where lives were lost. some persons maimed, properties destroyed and some Tertiary Educational Institutions closed. This article therefore seeks to discuss Secret Societies, Cultism and Tertiary Educational Institutions with Kwara State of Nigeria as focus. Sometimes in 2004, the Kwara State Government enacted anti Secret Societies and cultism law. This law was amended in 2013 and 2016. The law was to curb, reduce or totally eradicate Secret Societies and Cultism in the State. Fourteen years after, has there been reduction or eradication of this menace in the State? This paper seeks to explore the causes, effects and the adequacy or otherwise of this laws. It will also seek to make a comparative study of what is obtainable in other States in Nigeria.enArticle
