In a bid to effectively secure lives and properties of the citizenry, the Ondo State Security Network Agency otherwise known as Amotekun has proffered community policing as a way out to security challenge in the country.
To this end, the agency therfore urged the Federal Government to consider community policing so as to frontally stem rising cases of blood-letting killings in the country.
On Wednesday, Adetunji Adeleye, the State Commander of the Corps, bared his mind during an interactive meeting with online media practitioners in Akure, the state capital.
According to him, “The federal agencies are trying their best but somebody who doesn’t know local community and terrain cannot operate successfully. A calabar man that is posted as an operation officer in Ondo state will start reading maps whereas a village man that I have employed already knows the area and the people living around.
“When you look at the advanced countries, they have Federal police, they have metropolitan police and a lot of that. So, grassroot policing is the solution to perennial security problems in Nigeria.”
He further sought the support of government on the provisions of weapons and other security equipments to help the officers perform their duties more effectively.
He noted that the successes recorded so far was possible because of the smooth working relationship with government, other security agencies and the citizens of state. He therefore sought further support from these stakeholders.
