Olubadan Urges Nationwide Community Policing to Reduce Crime

The Olubadan Palace hosted the luncheon for the course participants from NISS, Bwari, Abuja. Traditional leaders such as the Balogun, Otun Balogun, Osi Olubadan, and Ekerin Balogun attended, along with security officials from Oyo State. Organizers arranged the event to appreciate the week‑long study tour of the delegates.

Oba Rasidi Ladoja said community policing would help eradicate crimes or reduce them to the barest minimum. He noted the luncheon aimed to share experiences from the tour and showcase Oyo State as a pace‑setter. The Iyalode line representatives, Olori Onikepo Akande, and former CCII leaders attended.

The monarch’s endorsement adds traditional authority to the push for community policing across Nigeria. It signals that local institutions may mobilize to support federal or state security initiatives. Observers will watch whether policymakers translate this advocacy into concrete programs or funding allocations.
