*Says Govt Can End Kidnapping If It Wants
THE Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in last year’s presidential elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has condemned the recent upsurge in banditry and kidnapping in some parts of the country, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, lamenting that the federal government has failed in one of its primary duties to the citizens
Adebayo, writing on his official X handle,@Pres_Adebayo, said it was the duty of government to stop criminality and protect lives and property of the citizens.
He stated that just as Nigerians bemoan and dread bandits and kidnappers, government remains a suspect in the whole drama, noting: “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 further stated that if President Bola Tinubu, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Service (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 lamented.
