Unemployment responsible for rising banditry, kidnapping- Obasanjo tells FG
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says the unemployment situation in the country is responsible for the growing activities of bandits and kidnappers. Speaking at a function in Lagos state on Tuesday, March 26, Obasanjo said
“Of course, if we are able to achieve this, it will improve our security. Part of our insecurity are men and women that are not properly engaged. If we are able to give them employment, there will be less of them getting involved in banditry, in kidnapping and in doing various other criminal activities that they get involved in,” Obasanjo noted.
