” Let me train the Amotekun corps because I still believe in the local intelligence, recognition of the local and domestic intelligence which are the local vigilantes , working with them can give tips and other information about suspicious behaviour to uncover who might be involved and for what purposes.
” This issue of kidnapping should not be seen from the political angle rather as a matter that needs urgent attention.
”Ekiti state government should involve experts in this area in giving the government adequate advice in bringing this problem to an end by offering myself and skills without cost as a security expert.
