Concerned elders in Ilorin are worried over alleged rise in crime rates among youths in the ancient town of Ilorin, Kwara State.

The development came on the heels of outbreak of hostilities among youths at ‘Alore’ part of the town, over an alleged increment in the cost of Cannabis sativa, ‘Igbo’ or ‘Weed’ in the area.

The protesting youths, some of whom went berserk, two days ago, to register their anger by destroying unsuspecting residents’ property, allegedly conscripted sellers of the outlawed substance to reduce the cost.

But former Secretary of the state branch of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr. Olusola Ajolore and the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Alhaji Mohammed Bashir decried the sad development, attributing it to parents’ failure to impart high moral standard in their children and wards.

No wonder Nairaland has been somewhat peaceful.

They would’ve been running amok and ranting all over but the shortage of weed has mellowed them.

Too bad.

They should use this sobriety to handle pressing issues in their region and for once let igbos be

We are not gonna take this anymore!
That's how they increased the price over here

yoruba muslims are the highest users of weed and illegal substances.

No wonder many of them sound like hopeless urchins on this forum.
