He therefore urged the federal government to take radical approach to ensure stability of electricity in the country, saying such is a vital tool to deal with crime.

He said: “Stability of electricity is important. The Federal Government should work with local and foreign investors for initiation of stable power supply in order to light up the bandits, kidnappers and robbers’ dens and to also make free movement for citizens without fear.”

He called for mounting of CCTV cameras in all embassies, airports, check points; gathering places like international passport offices and boarders that link other countries to Nigeria, adding that there should be availability of patrol vans for security personnel on highways.

“There should be creation of central monitoring room for all communication networks, such that whoever calls are made or received in any part of the country it will be monitored at a central unit. With this, kidnappers could be easily tracked when communicating with the victim’s family.”

He also called for monitoring of locally made and importation of ammunition as well as codeine drugs to alleviate the involvement of youths in the illegal usage of both.

“All cybercafés must be registered and be monitored by a central control room at the Capital of the Nation and annex in each state of the country.”

He added that the Army should be asked to go to the barracks and be invited for national insecurity like national terroristic attacks while the Police should handle civil cases like communal crises, kidnapping, robbery; bandits; criminality; cultism and other unlawful assaults.

He said that the Federal Government cannot build something on nothing, saying the security and combatant personnel should be financially and intelligently be equipped in order to make the aforementioned tasks possible.

Oguntoyinbo added that he has the vision of functioning security system that would work perfectly from his experience as a traveler and his knowledge as a security stakeholder, noting that he would like to be a special adviser to Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police, Chief of Army Staff on security matters if he is given the opportunity.
