Dr. Roy Okhidievbie, a security expert and military veteran, has claimed that Amotekun’s continuous recruiting of vigilantes in the South West and the Miyetti Allah’s recruitment of vigilantes might be incorporated into the larger police force.
He underlined how crucial it is to set up a locally designed police system that works with the current framework. He promoted paying police personnel competitive wages and placing them in regions where there is a deficiency of police presence.
The ultimate objective, according to him, is to develop a police force that is motivated, disciplined, and easily receptive so that they can effectively uphold law and order.
He said in an interview with TVC, ”We have policing that should be homegrown and adapt to the system. The Miyetti Allah just recruited 2000 people and the Amotekun are still recruiting in the South West. Most of these things can be engrafted into the police.
And giving them good pay and structuring them into deployment into the unpoliced area. You can look at any distance and say before you get here, you will see the presence of the police. A response-ready police team that is disciplined, motivated and good to go is the solution.”
