tighten

Following the alarming increase in insecurity across the country, the defeated presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has called on the federal government to put an end to its empty rhetorics and take urgent action to stem insecurity.

The former vice-president made the call Monday in a statement he personally signed, where he lamented that when the punishment for crimes are not forthcoming, criminals are emboldened to commit even worse crimes.
