In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Obi said his solution to insecurity in Nigeria should be “decisive and immediate”, insisting the more people are removed from poverty, the more criminality is reduced.

Obi’s comments come a few hours after the terrorists who attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28, 2022, released three victims out of the 62 hostages who they abducted.

The terrorists had on Sunday released a disturbing video showing victims being flogged, even as the terrorists threatened to sell some into slavery and kill others.

Reacting to the development and others across the country, the Labour Party’s Presidential Flagbearer, said there are so many things that he would put in place to stem the tide of insecurity, most of which he cannot mention on air at the moment.

“To improve the security situation in Nigeria, as President, I will ensure the economy works and more people are pulled out of poverty,” Obi said.

“The more you remove people out of poverty, the more you reduce criminality. It is critical and important, as long as the economy continues to head south like we are seeing today, your criminality will be rising.
