<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you know, I\u2019m here to commiserate with the families of Olakunri and Pa Rebeun Fasoranti.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President has very recently met not only the service chiefs but also the IGP and he has laid out a new policy of the community policing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the most important things is this sort of crimes, because they are largely economic crimes, people are trying to make money by kidnapping.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother important thing is the intelligence gathering that is why we have the community policing system where policemen would be trained in their own local government and they would remain there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Osinbajo, the government would also be engaging the military to mount the flash points on the roads in order to boast its community policing system.<\/p>\n
He explained further that the Inspector General Police (IGP) had already committeed to ensuring that there was full coverage of the police, and even helicopters.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs close as we get to the community policing structure that we expect to have while we are engaging the Army so that there will be a bit of more military presence especially along the roads.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is to fasten the search for these killers and also to ensure that there is adequate presence to deter this kind of terrible situation from reoccurring.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking at the whole security architecture and trying to ensure that we are able to scale up and ensure that we are able to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity in a big country like Nigeria as you can imagine the challenge is dynamic and the we also have to be consistently dynamic in ensure that we are able to beat the challenges as they appear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that we can be very hopeful that we would see peace and calm as some of the steps we are taking come fruition.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know also we meet with the Governors in South West and in the different zones and everybody is coming to ensure that security is adequate and every feels safe and secure,\u201d Osinbajo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
