The Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has called for the overhaul of Nigeria’s security architecture.
While expressing concern over the kidnap of medical students at Otukpo Benue State, as well as security breach in various parts of the country, the mainstream Yoruba group lamented that modern-day technology was not being utilized to tackle insecurity.
In a communique issued at the end of its caucus meeting held at the Akure country home of its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the organisation maintained that if the security architecture is rejigged, the insecurity will be resolved.
The communique signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, said, “Afenifere also advocated for the licencing of Amotekun to carry lethal weapons. There should be greater cooperation between Amotekun and other security agencies.
“Command and control posts be installed across all the local government areas so that information can be shared in real time, as is done in many developed and not-so-developed countries.”
Afenifere equally urged the Federal Government to show seriousness in its quest to tackle the high cost of living in the country.
