Declare State of Emergency on Security, House Tells Buhari
Determined to find a lasting solution to the security challenges facing the South-east, governors of the five states in the zone on Wednesday resolved to adopt the Community Policing Initiative of the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu.
The leaders spoke during the South-east geo-political zone security summit themed: ‘Strategic Partnership for Effective Community Policing in the South East Zone’. Umahi said that the process takes into consideration the security initiatives put in place by the governors of the states in the South-east such as the vigilante groups, neighbourhood watch and forest guards.
On his part, the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Nwodo said allowing each zone to establish their own security outfit will greatly assist in resolving the security crisis facing the country. He said the zones need some level of independence since the existing system in the country had failed, adding that the people of the South-east have absolutely lost confidence in the police and even the road safety who have continued to exploit the people in the name of protecting their lives.
“Any security agency that alienates the people it is meant to protect does jot mean well for them. With community policing, we shall be able to identify, dissect and deal with issues of insecurity in our communities,” he said.
