President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been advised by the Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere to regig the country’s security architecture curbing the resurgence of kidnapping and banditry.
This was contained in a repatoire issued after the group’s caucus meeting, held in Akure, the Ondo state capital, the country home of its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
According to the group’s Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi who signed the communique, “The Security Architecture of the country needs to be overhauled to ensure that Nigerians can live and move about without the fear of being kidnapped or harassed in any way.
“Such reworking should include accelerating actions on the decision of the government to have state police.
“There is also the urgent need to deploy modern technology more comprehensively into the efforts of combating banditry and terrorism.
“Doing so would check, if not stop, the incidences of kidnapping and sundry banditry now ravaging the land.
“Afenifere also advocated for the licensing of Amotekun to carry lethal weapons, there should be greater cooperation between Amotekun and other security agencies, and command and Control posts be installed across all the local government areas so that information can be shared in real-time as is done in many developed and not so developed countries.”
