The Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), codenamed Amotekun, has declared its readiness for the establishment of state police, describing the decentralisation of Nigeria’s security architecture as the most effective solution to the country’s security challenges.
Chairman of the South-West Amotekun Commanders Forum and Commander of the Ondo State Amotekun Corps, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, made the declaration in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
According to Adeleye, state policing would enhance intelligence gathering, crime detection and community-based security operations, making law enforcement more effective.
He said the South-West security outfit has consistently maintained that state police remains the best option for addressing insecurity across the country.
