A traditional aristocrat and an activist, Gani Adams, has stressed on the need to tackle insecurity using traditional methods.

He gave the counsel on Monday, May 31, at the 2021 Odun Aje (Wealth) Festival at Orile Agege in Lagos state.

Adams frowned at the spike in kidnapping, banditry and extra judicial killings in the country. He also regretted that Nigeria have been in the news for the wrong reasons for a long time.

“We totally support the position. I feel sad at the spate of insecurity across the Southwest. Kidnapping, banditry and killings have since been the bane of our region.”

“I wonder why the federal government is bent on going against the wishes of the people. In the last few years, Nigeria has been in the news mostly for the wrong reasons.

“The insecurity is alarming and increasing. I think we need to tackle the menace, using the traditional approach and global template.”

“Things have gone wrong and it is beyond everybody’s imagination” Adams said.
