The Senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe, has called for a more structured approach to community policing as this will help check rising insecurity in the nation’s federal capital.
She made the call on Sunday night during her appearance on a Channels Television programme, “Sunday Politics”.
“On the botched CCTV Camera contract totalling $470m, the Chinese had done their bit but unfortunately, Nigeria did not make any provision to operate the cameras”.
She said the National Assembly will get to the root of the matter.
