To everyone, this might be a normal fact considering the
bombing and killings that is now the order of the day mostly in the northern
areas.
The head of department of political science, Lagos state university
(LASU ) Dr S.O. Mudasiru gave an
affirmation to the fact that Nigerians is at the beck and call of violence and insecurity.
He disclosed this during the 3rd annual conference
of art and social sciences at the Michael Otedola college of primary education
(MOCPED), Epe on Tuesday.
Mr. Mudasiru who gave several instances of violence
maintained that the country does not measure to the standard of other advanced
crime and violence combating countries.
He explains further the Nigeria needs
to step up its technology in order to combat crime. He mentioned that constant
tracking of criminals and most especially suicide bombers.
Also while giving his lecture which was tagged “contemporary
security challenges and national development in Nigeria” he explains that
poverty gives rise to crime which then metamorphoses into violence.
He believes that those who are not employed find various ways
of feeding themselves by involving in criminal and illegal acts.
He however did not exclude the involvement of youth in the
problem of insecurity.
He added that all movement groups such as movement for
emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Egbesu, Bakasi Boys, Hisbah, Odua
people’s congress (OPC) and Boko Haram engage youth in committing crime.
He
mentioned that each region wants a security body to itself in order to charge
