PAN-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, on Sunday said the Nigerian nation is at the brink of an avoidable catastrophe that requires urgent actions, declaring that the most potent recipe to prevent the catastrophe was to restructure and return the country to true federalism. The group said this must change, demanding that state police, down to the level of local government, must become operational immediately. “The governors are described as Chief Security Officers of their respective states, yet they have no security agency that can be deployed to where crimes are being committed with arms. “Those of them who came up with some security apparatus like Amotekun are disempowered because they could not bear arms. And the state security body has no control anymore since the police is a Federal agency who does not take order from the governor.
