A Call To Action: Regulate Or Ban NAIJA BET In Adamawa State To Curb Shila Boys And Girls Activities

By Comrade Suleiman A. Abubakar

Adamawa State is facing a growing concern that requires immediate attention from the Executive Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and heads of security agencies, including the Director of the Department of State Security (DSS) Adamawa State Command, The Commissioner Nigeria Police Force Adamawa State Command, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) Adamawa State Command , and the Brigade Commander of the 23 Armoured Brigade Yola Adamawa State. The activities of Naija Bet in all 21 local government areas, particularly in Jambutu Ward, Doubeli Ward, Rumde Ward, and Luggere Ward of Yola North Local Government Area, need to be regulated or banned due to the dangers and consequences they pose to the youth and the community at large.

Naija Bet centers have become a haven for Shila Boys and Girls, who use these locations as hideouts, putting themselves and others at risk. The proliferation of Naija Bet shops has contributed significantly to the increase in criminal activities, violence, and social vices among young people in Adamawa State. It is imperative that we take decisive action to address this issue and ensure the safety and well-being of our citizens.

The dangers and consequences of allowing Naija Bet to continue operating in Adamawa State are numerous:

– Increased criminal activities: Naija Bet centers have become a hub for criminal elements, including Shila Boys and Girls, who use these locations to plan and execute their illegal activities.

– Social vices: The presence of Naija Bet shops has contributed to the rise in social vices such as gambling, drug abuse, and prostitution among young people.

– Economic consequences: The proliferation of Naija Bet shops has led to a significant loss of revenue for the state, as the operators often evade taxes and engage in illegal financial transactions.

– Moral decay: The activities of Naija Bet promote a culture of greed, materialism, and instant gratification, eroding the moral fabric of our society.

If Naija Bet shops are regulated or banned in Adamawa State, the activities of Shila Boys and Girls will significantly reduce, and the state will experience a decrease in criminal activities, social vices, and violence. We urge the Executive Governor and heads of security agencies to take the following steps:

1. Regulate or ban Naija Bet shops in all 21 local government areas of Adamawa State.

2. Conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of Naija Bet operators and their connections to criminal elements.

3. Collaborate with community leaders and stakeholders to educate the public about the dangers of Naija Bet and its impact on society.

4. Provide alternative economic opportunities and social programs for young people to engage in productive activities.

We cannot afford to ignore the dangers posed by Naija Bet any longer. It is time for decisive action to protect our youth, our communities, and our state. We call on the Executive Governor and heads of security agencies to take immediate action to regulate or ban Naija Bet in Adamawa State.
