These boys are no Buccaneers. Buccaneers have long ago stopped initiation of new intake. I think somebody is taking advantage of this name. The buccaneers have problem trying to stop this fantasy of some young people who misunderstand the true meaning of the brotherhood. They suffer equally with the wider society with the activities of these urchins. This menace should just go away and leave the society sane. It sounds like some conspiracy by some people, though odd.

These boys are just impersonating. Buccaneers don’t conduct initiation at the beach. The law enforcement agents should deal with them for this.

The buccaneers brotherhood shouldn’t be mistakes as a cult group, most people just go along with what everyone says without knowing things, look them up on Facebook, they are charity givers who will fight against any form of intimidation and was approved by the Nigerian government in 1982, so if the government could approve them why is the same government arresting them?? Why no arrest Wole Soyinka who was the core founder of this group???

Bullshit! This is total rubbish. This people ain’t robbers. They ain’t kidnappers or bokoharam. They were not caught killing or stealing. So why arresting them? Police is suck. They should go out there an fish out the main criminals instead of destroying innocent people. Release this people cuz I don’t see anything bad in initiation. Cultism has bn existing even before we were born. Even the politician make use of them. Robbers an kidnappers are out there so you guys should go catch them an leave this innocent young men alone. Shit!

Make peace within Buccaneering not causing more issues…
