The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has called for the overhaul of the country’s security architecture to halt the resurgence of kidnapping and banditry this was contained in a communique issued after the group’s caucus meeting, held in Akure, the Ondo state capital, the country home of its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.

According to the communique signed by the group National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, said that ” the Security Architecture of the country needs to be overhauled to ensure that Nigerians are able to live and move about without the fear of being kidnapped or harassed in any way Such reworking should include accelerating actions on the decision of the government to have state police.

“There is also the urgent need to deploy modern technology more comprehensively into the efforts of combating banditry and terrorism doing so would check, if not totally stop, the incidences of kidnapping and sundry banditry now ravaging the land. Afenifere also advocated for the licensing of Amotekun to carry lethal weapons, there should be greater cooperation between Amotekun and other security agencies and 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 on the current high cost of living,

Afenifere urged the “Federal Government, through its various organs in charge of finance and fiscal policies, to accelerate actions that will strengthen the value of our currency, enhance productivity, reduce costs of items and services geared towards reducing inflation and enhancing the welfare of the people. They called on local governments, following the Supreme Court verdict which gave them financial autonomy, to not only have farms but make things easy for local farmers by providing them with needed resources – sometimes at subsidized fees.
