El reciente aumento del bandidaje y los secuestros en el estado de Osun es preocupante. Este artículo analiza los factores socioeconómicos que contribuyen al bandidaje y los secuestros, examinando el factor socioeconómico más influyente que impulsa a las personas a cometer estos delitos como consecuencia del desempleo. Se empleó un modelo de investigación descriptivo. La población de estudio está compuesta por motociclistas de okada, funcionarios públicos, conductores y comerciantes residentes en el estado de Osun. Se seleccionó aleatoriamente una muestra de 220 encuestados. Los datos recopilados se analizaron mediante porcentajes y ANOVA. El estudio revela que la falta de acceso a la educación y a oportunidades de desarrollo de habilidades es el factor más influyente en el bandidaje y los secuestros. El estudio encontró una relación significativa entre las tasas de desempleo y la incidencia del bandidaje y los secuestros en Nigeria. Por lo tanto, el estudio recomienda que los gobiernos en todos los niveles, incluidas las organizaciones privadas y los individuos, sean proactivos para abordar los factores socioeconómicos identificados.
