Osinbajo charged traditional rulers, local and state governments to collaborate with the Federal Government in tackling insecurity. He said, “The President has recently constituted a committee that will look at the whole security infrastructure with a view to looking at the needs of the military, as well as the police and security agencies.” “The result of that is a bill before the National Assembly, a supplementary bill.
