Govs don’t regard tackling insecurity as priority — Folarin, Afenifere scribe

Chief Ademola Folarin, a leader of the Yoruba-based organization Afenifere, criticizes Nigerian state governors for failing to prioritize addressing insecurity in their regions. He argues that the creation of State Police is necessary and inevitable, citing the federal structure of governance and the inefficiency of centralized policing. Folarin also criticizes the Western security network, Amotekun, for not meeting expectations in the South West and faults Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for seeking UN involvement in investigating the abduction in Oriire. Additionally, Folarin asserts that all religious groups are victims of terrorism, challenging claims that only Christians face persecution.
