Adeleke said under his administration as Osun governor if elected, he will promote community policing to ensure Osun citizens sleep with twp eyes closed.
Senator Adeleke said, “Nigerians don’t even have the money to buy weapons. I will promote community policing.
“When I was growing up in Ede, we had neighborhood watch, which alerts neighbours of any stranger and protects the area.
“Let’s bring it (community policing) back to attack insecurity in our neighborhoods. State police is a constitutional matter and we don’t want to go against it until the senate amends the constitution for us to have the state police.”
