On the issue of insecurity in the country, the CDHR urged the new IGP to take community policing more seriously and provide the needed enabling environment for the effectiveness of vigilantes to complement the efforts of the police, noting that a lot can be achieved in fighting criminals in any community when there is synergy between the police and the locals.
The CDHR also commented on the issue of Security Votes and charged the Federal Government to pass an Executive order compelling the state governors who have come to see security votes as a conduit pipe to siphon public funds to channel such funds to assisting the police at the various state Commands while the local government chairmen should also fund the Divisional police units in their areas for more efficiency in protecting lives and property.
