MUSWEN President, Rasaki Oladejo made the call during the maiden public lecture organised by MUSWEN Health Committee in Ibadan, Oyo State, with the theme, “National Insecurity and Its Psychological Effects on the Citizens; the Islamic and Health Perspectives”, Oladejo called on the Federal Government to urgently address the root causes of insecurity in Nigeria, noting that the country is facing a lot of security challenges including kidnapping, armed robberies, banditry and other violent crimes.
A consultant psychiatrist at the University College Hospital Ibadan, Dr Jibril AbdulMalik, said good mental health and justice was critical to curbing insecurity in Nigeria.
