Led by their governors, community policing was eventually agreed upon as an effective tool for tackling the security menace in the region. Amotekun StateSecurity Police Security
Inspector-General of Police, Abubakar Adamu; Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Sule; Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, and Benue State governor, Dr.
According to IGP, “It is worthwhile to note that the foundation of our community policing strategy rests on the cooperation of the traditional rulers, who will be asked to nominate credible citizens to be trained by the police as community policing officers. A successful community policing strategy will increase trust, confidence and communication between the community and the police and most significantly reduce crime.
Mr. Sule, however, expressed worry over resurgence of attacks in recent times on soft targets and security formations by the dreaded Boko Haram in the Northeast part of the country, as well as kidnapping and the activities of bandits in some parts of the Northwest, including farmers and herdsmen’s crisis in the region.
Ortom, however, condemned the intention of the Federal Government to allow free entry to migrants from other African countries into Nigeria and urged President Buhari to reverse the decision for the best interest of the country. Stakeholders at the summit expressed hope that respite would be achieved if all that was deliberated upon and adopted were effectively implemented. A communiqué was issued at the end of the summit stating the resolutions reached by the six governors of the North Central states effectively adopting community policing as an effective tool in ensuring safety of lives of property in the region.
Although the summit has come and gone, citizens in the geopolitical zone are hopeful that it would not be business as usual where good policies and strategies are proposed but without the political will to implement them. Many are of the opinion that until there is a conscious and strategic border-to-border vigilance, efforts to rid the zone of criminal activities would amount to nothing.
