1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Criminality
in Nigeria has been an age long problem that has significantly affected
the development of the country both economically, politically and
otherwise. The issue of criminality has taken a surprisingly upward
surge in Nigeria owing to the increase in the wave of crime and other
illicit practices. This high level of criminal tendencies in Nigeria has
negatively affected the international image of the country and thus
preventing or making it difficult for us to enjoy the goodwill of other
developed countries of the world. The issues of criminality has led to
high security concerns as the lives and properties of innocent Nigerian
can no longer be protected unlike in other countries of the world, this
has gone a long way in reducing the level of investment into the country
thus leading to poor economic growth and hardship.
