the National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on Nigerians to desist from politicising crimes in the country and unite in finding solutions to the problem.

The Director-General of the Agency, Dr GARBA ABARI made the appeal in a statement issued in Abuja by Mr. PAUL ODENYI, the Head, Press Unit, NOA.

This is coming as Nigerians condemn rising incidences of crimes in the country including the recent killing of Mrs. FUNKE OLAKUNRIN, daughter of Pa REUBEN FASORANTI, leader of Afenifere pan-Yoruba group.

ABARI said Nigerians should allow security agencies the space to deal with the disturbing cases of banditry and armed robbery rather than resorting to peddling political narratives and stereotypes.
