By Sunday Ani
The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in the 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has condemned the recent upsurge in banditry and kidnapping in some parts of the country, particulary in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, lamenting that the government has failed in one of its primary duties to the citizenry.
Writing on his official X page, @Pres_Adebayo, yesterday, he noted that it is the duty of the government to stop criminality and protect lives and property of the citizens.
He insisted that just as Nigerians bemoan and dread bandits and kidnapper, the government remains a suspect in the whole drama.
He said: “As we bemoan and dread bandits and kidnappers, we must bemoan and suspect our government more. It is the duty of the government to stop criminality.”
Adebayo went further to note that if President Bola Tinubu, the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), were determined to end kidnapping in Nigeria, they know what to do, and have all it takes to do that, because the government is deeply involved.
“If @officialABAT, @NuhuRibadu, @PoliceNG and @OfficialDSSNG want to end kidnapping today, they have all it takes. Government is in on it,” he submitted.
