FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH
PICK POCKETING
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the
study
High
rate of unemployment, poverty and uncontrollable informal sector among others
have led to more than proportionate increase in deviant careers, criminal
activities, loss of lives and properties in most fagge local government. As
submitted by Fayeye (2007), poor economic growth coupled with high rate of
corruption and mismanagement are some of the fundamental factors accounting for
high rate of unemployment in Nigeria. This unemployment rate as further argued
by Fayeye (2007) encouraged early morning gathering of unemployed youths around
major urban roads, street and junctions discussing football and headings of
newspaper to waste away their time. Salawu, (2009) maintained that the pull
created by unemployment has pushed many individuals into forming gangs usually
referred to as touts, whose activities revolve round the streets, bus stops,
market, motor parks, and especially, the transport corridors. These touts hang
around motor parks and most times claimed they are working for government
especially the local government authorities. Realistically, most of these tout
work for their Godfathers, Union Chairman and Garrison politicians (Lana,
2011).
Touts
can be defined as workers at railway stations, airports, ferry points, and
especially motor parks, who undertake the self-imposed responsibility of
recruiting and organizing passengers who wish to travel by road and for this
work they received a fee or more appropriately a ‘commission’ that is gradually
paid by the drivers of the vehicles just before their departure (Okpara, 2005;
1998). Ikumola (2011) submitted that most of the touts are private
entrepreneurs, who both compete and collaborate with one another to provide
road transport for the public which most times generate unhealthy rivalry.
Obviously,
these self-appointed passenger procurers are not public employees, although all
the motor parks in which they operate are built and owned by the appropriate
local government authorities. As opined by Lana (2011) most touts do not
consider collection of Dues/ticket only economically viable, thus they help
drivers/commercial car owners to get the necessary passengers, in order to
boost their income per day.
Usually,
as identified by (Momoh 2000 ; Ikumola, 2011) activities of touts are
characterized by incessant fights over loading rights in the street, bus stops,
motor parks (transportation corridors) and business districts. Similarly, the
malevolent character of touts, relative groups and the destructive goals of
their members, as revealed by the atrocity in the urban areas are noted for
destruction of public peace. These atrocities are not only increasing in
proportion but are lethally more devastating and sophisticated in organization.
Reports of dastardly acts such as looting, killing, raping, acid bathing, thugery,
exhortation, property destruction and stealing have become more rampant among
touts in the metropolis. Till date, available police statistics report as
revealed in the Nigerian (Tribune, August, 12, 2012) shows that there is a
strong association between these so called touts and violence associated with
criminal activities and lawful disorderliness in most urban cities.
The
demand for transportation is inevitably higher per unit of time in the urban
centres of any regional communications network than anywhere else. Land use
planners’ creation for transport at certain nodes by designating relevant space
as motor parks (Oni, 2007) which are supposed to constitute the official
station of departure and arrival for most journeys, undertaker or by non-car owing
residents of the community. Hence, for those living outside urban centres where
such parks are located, these act by the touts caused them to be panic
and
make them to be vulnerable to miscreant activities.
Thus,
the motor parks constitute the major operational bases for touts and can be
used to evaluate the relative importance of certain towns and villages as
transportation nodes. The challenge of touts is also experienced in airports.
Since there seems to be a direct relationship between urbanization and enhanced
demand for travel on the one hand, and the incidence of touting on the other,
(Okpara, 2007), it is hardly surprising that the latter is not a traditional
enterprise. In other words, the unique brokerage services offered to both
willing and unwilling passengers have evolved in response to fairly recent
urban and related transport development (Mensah, 2008)
Earlier
research on touting extensively focused on mode of operation see (Okpara, 2005:
Lana, 2011) other focused on attitude and activities of touts along traffic
corridors (Ikuomola et al, 2011; Iginla, 2007). Many other scholars review the
relevance of theory of planned behaviour in explaining the development of touts
(Agnew, 1992). Many other scholars examined how different cultural groups such
as Oodua people’s congress, Agaba boys and Egbesi boys have metamorphosed into
area boys and nuisance in major metropolis mostly in the public places See
(Ikoh, 2010: Ekpenyong, 1999: Oloko, 2007).
1.2 Statement of the
problem
A
look at this research will show that several lacunas exist in the study of
touting as airport menaces. While many researchers focus extensively on some of
the activities of touts, little or no study has examined socio-economic
background of these boys (Touts). Also many studies were silent on the
formulation of touts in most airports
1.3 Objectives of the
study
1.
To understand the challenges of pick pocketing on Fagge local government
2.
To understand the impact of pick pocketing on the socio-economic development of
fagge local government
3.
To recommend ways to curb the menace of pick pocketing on Fagge local
government
1.4 Research
1.
What are the challenges of pick pocketing on Fagge local government?
2.
What is the impact of pick pocketing on the socio-economic development of fagge
local government?
1.5 Research hypothesis
H0:
Pick pocketing does not have an impact on the socio-economic development of fagge
local government
H1:
Pick pocketing have an impact on the socio-economic development of fagge local
government
