AFENIFERE PUSHES FOR REGIONAL POLICING TO CURB CRIME

.

The Afenifere Renewal Council, a Yoruba socio-cultural group, has called on President Bola Tinubu to take urgent action in addressing growing insecurity in Nigeria.

.

They are urging the federal government to implement a system where state and local governments have their own police forces to complement the national police.

.

The organization emphasized that the current security framework is inadequate, especially in light of recent incidents such as the brutal murder of an elderly woman in Ondo, rampant kidnappings in Oyo, and recurring attacks on farmers in Ogun.

.

They argue that decentralizing the police force will allow for more efficient crime prevention and response.
