Human rights activist and African President of World Alliance Against Terrorism, Violence and Inhuman Treatment, WAATVIT,Mr. A. A. Orunkoya, has described terrorism as an international phenomenon and a menace that emanated from bad leadership in Africa and some other continents of the world.
.
He attributed the ugly trend to self centredness among African leaders and their inability to initiate people-oriented programmes and policies, which often gave rise to poverty, hardship and unemployment, visibly seen on the continent.
.
Orunkoya noted that people took to crime, violence and terrorism because of their dissatisfaction with the extent of social, political and economic statusquo.
.
He said: "Most often than not, people form terror groups like the Boko Haram and Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, as a way of ventilating their anger against a government that is insensitive to their plight."
