Cardinal John Onaiyekan on Saturday blamed the worsening tempo of insecurity, especially in Northern Nigeria on the Almajiri system,

He also expressed concern that young boys who had been abandoned by their parents have ended up as bandits and Boko Haram terrorists.

He said, “This question of abandoned children is not new. It has been in the world almost from time immemorial. It is just that nowadays, in this age and year 2021, there ought not to be any more abandoned children. “Right now, where are all the criminals coming from? Go to Kuje prison and find out the ages of the people who end up in jail. For those who are now insurgents and bandits, information reaching us is that many of the heads of those bandits are all young people, because of the way they have been trained. So, it shows immediately, and you don’t have to wait for 10 or 20 years to see the implications of not doing anything to tackle the menace of street children.

The Cardinal said, “10 years ago, these youths were children, but today they are teenagers and young men who have no skill of any sort, and they are ready to be recruited to do anything.
