Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV) is the initiative of the Inspector General of Police IGP Mohammed Abubakar Adamu which started in 2013 when he was the commissioner of police Enugu state.

The programme was borne out of observations of emerging dangerous trend of cultism and other vices amongst our youths which has left many of them killed and others maimed as well as its menace in the society and community.

The dangerous consequencies of cultism has also brought untold hardship, academical, business disruptions as well as social disorganization.

Worrisome also are the involvements of Artisans such as okada riders, mechanics, traders, bus drivers, conductors as well as our female folks.

Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices, POCACOV, will be used to raise strong awareness, offer olive branch to repentant cultist and deradicalize them to be reintegrated into the society to contribute their positive quota in the Nation building.

The programme is strategically designed to counter Violent Extremist narratives of cultism and other vices as it is also community policing oriented with the involvements of all relevant stakeholders.

Consequently, this interventions is designed to sensitize different stakeholders on the dangers of cultism, substance abuse and other vices. The programme will spotlight the dangers of cultism, substance abuse and their relationship with crime and galvanize stakeholders’ support to help reduce incidence of cultism/other vices accross Nigeria.

The programme will be deployed in 36 states of the country including the federal capital territory. The police will use this activity to increase consciousness among parents, students, youths, religious leaders, caregivers ,teachers, and other relevant stakeholders on the dangers of cultism/substance abuse.

Police will also use this intervention to deepen the relation with the public for the purpose of gaining more support and assistance in the fight against crime and criminality in Nigeria.
