Synergise Regional Security Outfits -Yoruba Leaders

Prominent Yoruba leaders yesterday called for synergy among regional security outfits in Nigeria to ensure better security and proper coordination in the country.
Our correspondent reports that they made the call at the second installation anniversary of Iba Gani Adams as the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, held at Ikeja, Lagos.
President, Women Arise for Change Initiative, Joel Okei-Odumakin, said that there should be synergy amongst regional security outfits irrespective of the names they were called or wherever they were formed.
“Let them ensure that those who are at the helm of affairs in terms of security continue to network.
“They should have enough synergy in the way it is reported and coordinated so that at the end, they would take the scorecard and know where to put more effort. “This will also ensure a better guarantee of lives and property,” she said
Odumakin also lauded the creation of ‘Amotekun’, the South-West regional security outfit, which she said was long overdue.
She said there was a need for the necessary support to ensure that Amotekun became a strong effective outfit complementing the security agencies in fighting crime and criminality in the region.
According to her, it will help to protect citizens more and complement community policing work of the Nigeria Police.
She said Amotekun was not created to compete with state police but to complement their roles in ensuring the security of lives and property.
