OSOGBO COORDINATOR of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress, OPC, in Osun State, Mr. Leke Akintayo, yesterday, blamed the Federal Government for the spate of insecurity in the country, just as he noted that African measures, if properly harnessed, can end the killings across the country.
Fielding questions from journalists in Osogbo, Osun State, he said the increase in killings, banditry, kidnappings and other forms of challenges bedeviling the country was because the Federal Government had pampered criminals, rather than dealing with them appropriately.
Akintoye said: “The Federal Government is to blame for the daily killings because rather than allowing the wrath of the law to catch up with those fomenting trouble and creating crisis, it pampered and channeled money into rehabilitating them. This singular act made crime more attractive to the unemployed youths across the country
