The Odemo of Isara Remo in Remo North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Peter Ogunbayo, has called for the speedy passage of the state police bill currently before the National Assembly, saying it is becoming obvious that the country can no longer rely solely on the conventional police to address insecurity challenges.
Oba Ogunbayo also identified the need for communities in the South-West to organise strong local security involving vigilantes, the Oodua Peoples Congress, hunters, and the Agbekoya to confront the growing insecurity in the country.
