An Ekiti-born Security expert and a Member of the British Royal Air Force , Opeyemi David Falegan has offered himself to train the Amotekun corps towards combating the rising cases of attacks in Ekiti state.
Falegan, the founder of Opeyemi David Falegan Foundation (ODF) spoke with newsmen following the gruesome killings of two traditional rulers in the state and the abduction of school children and teachers.
He explained that he would be willing to offer his services to the government in its fight against the marauders, adding that there is need to engage the local vigilantes for sharing of actionable intelligence.
He said, ” Let me train the Amotekun corps because I still believe in the local intelligence, recognition of the local and domestic intelligence which are the local vigilantes , working with them can give tips and other information about suspicious behaviour to uncover who might be involved and for what purposes.
” This issue of kidnapping should not be seen from the political angle rather as a matter that needs urgent attention.
” Ekiti state government should involve experts in this area, in giving the government adequate advice in bringing this problem to an end by offering myself and skills without cost as a security expert.
” Using modern day technology can play a huge role in reducing insecurity in the state, Equipment like drones, ground control stations, and compact biometric search-scan systems.”
Falegan called on the security agencies in the state to intensify more efforts in bringing the perpetrators to book.
“This incident is sad and quite unfortunate. This is  a call on the government both at the federal and state levels to redouble their efforts in order to put a stop to these barbaric acts,” he said.
