Fight against insecurity beyond security agencies – Ex-police commissioner
Speaking at the Security Summit organised by Efik Leadership Forum in Calabar, Cross River State capital, Mr Alobi stated, “The fight against insecurity in the country has gone beyond the security agencies and depending on them is a risk”.
Also speaking, Dr Charles Bassey, a security consultant said the state is not doing much in terms of maintaining effective and active security network which is giving criminals a leeway to strike without fear. He said the state needs to rebuild its security architecture by setting up an emergency response centre and also a security trust fund so that there will be ready and steady funds to channel to meet security challenges on daily basis.
“People have lost confidence in the police and asking them to depend on the police for action is a waste of time and nothing reasonable can be done to address security challenge”.He called for the establishment of security cameras and constant surveillance in risks prone areas to curtail frequent criminal activities in the state.
