President Bola Tinubu has to be interested in devolving internal security powers to the states to address insecurity in the country.

This was the view of Security Analyst Onyekachi Adekoya in an interview with Inspiration FM.

This charge is coming amid the rising spate of insecurity across the country. In Benue state, gunmen killed an octogenarian and former Chairman of Katsina-Ala and Ukum Local Government Area, Elder Washima Erukaa.

Also, at the weekend, a lecturer at the Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna in Niger State, Dr Sherifat Adefolalu, was found in a pool of blood with her throat slit and knives found beside her.

In Zamfara, bandits abducted the district head of Ruwan Rana in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of the State, Magaji Makau and five others.

While in Kwara, one person was killed and two others abducted when gunmen invaded Ora around 8 p.m. on Saturday.

For an effective security system in the country, Adekoya called for an investment in community-based security while noting that the federal system is overwhelmed.
