It is widely believed that unemployment is one of the factors responsible for the rise in crime in Nigeria, with most of the educated (graduates) youths in Nigeria threading the paths of crime.
The number Increases by the day as new batches of Corps members are being introduced into the labour market quarterly on completion of their National Youth Service Corps programme without any job waiting for them anywhere as it used to be in the past.
These youths get idle at first, later get bored due to inactivity, then finally become depressed and frustrated after waiting for white collar jobs in vain.
Some end up indulging in crimes like robbery, cyber-crime, prostitution, drugs, thuggery, cultism and other levels of fraud to sustain themselves while the few focused and God fearing ones still hold on positively to menial jobs awaiting a breakthrough someday.
This is a story of what happened in 2020….
The police arrested a 7-man robbery gang led by an Indian lady named Alisha Noble who claimed that she fortifies herself with charms before coming to Nigeria.
Alisha and her gang were infamous for robbing Churches and supermarkets in Lagos. According to reports, the 7-man robbery gang were arrested on 27th February, 2020, after series of gun battle with the police and Nigerian army during their robbery operation along Lagos- Apapa expressway.
While being paraded, the gang leader, Alisha Noble, confessed that no amount of bullets shot at her can penetrate her body because she was fortified In India by a great priest, who died after fortifying her.
She also revealed that she had a lot of magical powers, which was why when she arrived Nigeria early 2011, she decided to form the robbery gang because she knew no bullet would penetrate her body.
