Former Vice President, Atiku Abukakar has advocated community policing in order to boost security of lives and property in the country. He said this on his Facebook page in his usual way of commenting on topical issues in the polity.
“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”. http://www.bellsnews.com/sports/is-the-super-eagles-dark-green-jersey-a-curse/
He went further to subtly chide the government of the day for not taking ‘decisive action’. “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. -AA”
