The apex Yoruba socio-political organisation Afenifere had lamented insecurity in the country and is asking President Bola Tinubu to invoke an executive order to create state and local government police.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, the group\u2019s spokesman Ajayi said the move followed increased reports of banditry and kidnapping in Ogun, Edo, Ekiti, Oyo, Kogi, Zamfara, and Niger states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are indications that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is desirous of putting an end to this deleterious menace. Towards the end of January this year, he approved the procurement of digital tracking tools to enhance the apprehension of bandits, terrorists, and armed robbers,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Monday, April 22, this year, he used the occasion of addressing participants at the African Counter-Terrorism Summit which opened on that day in Abuja to assure everyone of his government\u2019s readiness to ensure greater security. Unfortunately, recent happenings have not shown that the President\u2019s desire in this respect is being worked upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfenifere urged President Tinubu to get state and local government police off the ground immediately through the invocation of an Executive Order while the process of amending the Constitution continues. Close circuit television sets, deployment of modern technology for security purposes including drones must be effected immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group also called for the probing of the motivation behind kidnapping and banditry, pinning them on economic, political, and ideological motives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe starting point is to probe into the motivation for kidnapping and related banditry. Three identified motives are economic, ideology and politics. Each of these has sub-strata and sometimes interlopes,\u201d the socio-political body added.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, the economic factor of banditry could have territorial claim as an underpinning. It can also be as a result of some interests wanting to assert political superiority. These are relatively easier to deal with if the authorities and the people in the given area are committed to dealing with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
