Ex-President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has blamed unemployment for the increasing kidnapping and banditry in the country.

Speaking at a function in Lagos state on Tuesday, March 26, Obasanjo said the reason for the high insecurity is because people do not have jobs.

“Of course, if we are able to achieve this, it will improve our security. Part of our insecurity are men and women that are not properly engaged. If we are able to give them employment, there will be less of them getting involved in banditry, in kidnapping and in doing various other criminal activities that they get involved in,”
Obasanjo noted.
