The North-West: A Rising Crime Epidemic

Bishop Kukah’s Insights on Crime in the North-West

Bishop Matthew Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto has expressed concern over the escalating security situation in Nigeria’s North-West, describing it as “a massive crime scene.”

Kukah highlighted the growing challenges posed by criminal activities in the region, including banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism. He criticized the government’s response to the situation, urging authorities to take more decisive actions to restore peace and security.

The bishop’s statement comes amid widespread fear in the North-West, where insecurity has displaced many people and disrupted daily life. Kukah called for more attention to be paid to the root causes of the violence, including poverty, unemployment, and the absence of effective governance.
