President Olusegun Obasanjo said yesterday that he was aware that some policemen hire out their guns to armed robbers. He also said some religious bodies and clerics pray for the robbers before they go for operation while the bandits make returns to the former after a successful outing. The religious institutions, he said, have so debased themselves that the clerics publicly bless individuals without any known means of livelihood so far as the individual can cough out fat cash donations to them. President Obasanjo, who also came down hard on the BiafraNigerian Customs Service (NCS) and school teachers, accused them, together with the police and clerics, of aiding and abetting violent crimes in the society and malfeasance in schools. The President spoke in Abuja at the opening of the two-day security summit organised by the House of Representatives. He said rising rage of violent crime and other social vices is a reflection of a deeper rot in the nation�s various religious institutions, the schools, families, communities and law enforcement agencies. President Obasanjo noted that most of the crime bursting agencies, school teachers and religious institutions had failed in their duties. The President, who spoke on the theme of the summit titled: Juvenile delinquency, crime, community policing: Challenges and Prospects, said he was aware that some policemen "hire" their guns to people mainly youths for armed robbery.
