The Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political organization, has urged President Bola Tinubu to employ a combination of incentives and deterrents to address the escalating incidents of kidnapping and terrorism across Nigeria. In a statement released in Ibadan, Oyo State, the Reuben Fasoranti faction of Afenifere expressed deep concern about the surge in criminal activities in states such as Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Borno, Sokoto, Niger, Ondo, Katsina, and Rivers…….CONTINUE READING
The faction highlighted specific regions where crime rates are particularly high, citing recent security interventions in Igbeti and Sepeteri, Oke-Ogun, Oyo State, to thwart suspected bandits planning to unleash terror in the area. The statement also emphasized the fears of residents in Ondo State, particularly in Akoko and Igbara Oke, regarding armed herdsmen. Additionally, it drew attention to the heightened anxiety among inhabitants of certain areas in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, who now live in fear of kidnappers.
Recognizing the diverse motives behind these criminal acts, Afenifere emphasized the need for tailored strategies to address each specific challenge. The statement suggested that acts of terrorism may be interconnected, citing examples where individuals may set houses ablaze for both economic and territorial reasons. As a response, Afenifere proposed the convening of meetings involving local leaders, representatives of youth, religious bodies, artisans, and identified marauders in affected areas. During these gatherings, a “carrot and stick” approach should be employed, combining incentives and deterrents to effectively address the varying motivations behind the unfortunate incidents.
