The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has questioned the persistence of insecurity in Nigeria, arguing that modern technology should enable the government to locate individuals and respond more effectively to criminal activities.
Obi spoke in an exclusive interview with ARISE News on Thursday while responding to questions on how his administration would tackle kidnappings and ransom demands.
‘Government knows where people are’
Obi argued that advances in technology had made it possible for governments to determine the locations of individuals, questioning why such capabilities had not been effectively deployed to combat criminal activities.
“In today’s world, you can know where people are,” he said.
