Our Collective Effort Needed To Combat Insecurity - Police Tell Nigerians

CSP, Olumuyiwa Adejobi

Spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that tackling insecurity is a collective effort.

He stated that every citizen has a role to play in combating the worsening insecurity in the country.

Making this call in a post on his official X account, Adejobi detailed that section 30 of the Police Act of 2020 empowers citizens to arrest any suspect or criminal.

He wrote, “INTERNAL SECURITY: It requires our collective responsibility to tackle insecurity in Nigeria. Every citizen (and resident) has a role to play, including me. Sec 30 of the Police Act 2020 has empowered you to arrest any suspect or criminal, as the case may be. Then, a community that comprises many individuals has more powers to perform wonders in combating crimes and criminality in our society. Let’s all exercise our powers as people to curb insecurity in Nigeria. I will always play my role as a Nigerian. What of you?”

His comment comes amid rising cases of abduction in states across the country.
