Denied the Right to Livelihood

The economic policies of  the present administration in Nigeria have painfully  eroded  the  fundamental rights of citizens.

Economic reforms have attracted difficulties, sufferings and hardships, to the extent that heinous and grievous crimes are now perceived as credible solutions?

Nigerians have been denied their rights to livelihood, which translates to the denial of their rights to life and personal dignity.

The consequences are now occupying public space and Those-in-Charge are not only confused, but also helpless.

These criminals take time to observe happenings in these communities from shops, beer parlors, hotels, and abandoned buildings in these communities after which they facilitate heinous and grievous crimes.
