Corroborating the sponsor’s submission, other Honourable members including Lawal Samsideen, Adegoke Adeyanju, Odunuga Kaka and Waliu Owode, stated that the present security peculiarity in the State required the reinforcement of more support from local hunters, So safe and Amotekun Corps to aid effective community policing.
