Upon receiving the video clip, the Commissioner of Police, CP Wale Abass, promptly instructed the Area Commander Asaba, ACP Sunday Oladipo, and the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Edafe Bright, to visit the school and conduct an on-the-spot investigation. The team interviewed the school’s pupils, teachers, and parents. The mother of one of the affected children stated that her child referred to the activity as a game called “snake bite” and confirmed it had no connection to cult initiation. To delve deeper into the matter, DSP Edafe Bright interviewed one of the school pupils, leading to a significant revelation.

A 9-year-old boy named Uche, whose last name remains unknown, informed his 6-year-old brother, Emeka, about the game called “snake bite,” which piqued the younger sibling’s curiosity. When asked about the mechanics of the game, Uche explained that a piece of paper was used. DSP Edafe Bright volunteered his hand for a demonstration, and the child rubbed the back of his palm with a small piece of white paper. This action resulted in a mark similar to the one mistakenly portrayed as a cult initiation symbol. It became evident that this was an innocuous trend among school children and not a cult initiation process, as alleged by the activist.
