Rising insecurity in Nigeria: – Olusegun Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo During his Sunday visit to Bauchi, where he met with Dr. Rilwanu Adamu, the Emir, Obasanjo stated that since many criminals reside in local communities, local leaders must work together to combat insecurity.
His words “During our terms in office, we prioritized the security of lives and properties across the country. Right now, we need to do something urgently about this.
“The best form of security is community policing because everyone knows his/her neighbours within the community. With that, it is very easy to identify the bad eggs.”
“I am calling on traditional institutions to step in and encourage community policing within their environment in order to reduce the spate of committing crimes”
“During our service to the nation, we did everything collectively, our decisions were taken together to have a uniform focus. My brother, Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu is seated here and he will bear me witness. Whatever we achieved then, was a collective effort.”
