Why Nigeria Must Return To Community Policing – Atiku

Atiku Calls For End To Killings In Nigeria

Former Vice President and 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has called for more decisive action in dealing with the insecurity in Nigeria.

Atiku made the call in a personally signed statement obtained by Naija News on Monday.

The Nigerian statesman added that the security apparatus of the country must take decisive action in order to combat the incessant killings of innocent citizens.

In his words, “When I was a child, Nigeria had little crime. We did not depend on police from Lagos or Kaduna. We had a community police system. Nigeria must return to community policing, adapted to suit the culture and history of each of the 6 zones, in order to stem the tide of insecurity.

Our response to the killings of our citizens cannot be just talk, talk, and talk. We must take decisive action to protect the lives of all citizens, not just prominent ones. There has to be change, because if we continue with the way things are, we will get the same results.”
