Ogun State House of Assembly has expressed concern over the rising cases of kidnapping in the state, passing  a resolution seeking a review of the security architecture of the State 

The review according to the lawmakers, will   give  necessary recognition and create a synergy between the unconventional security outfits such as 

So-Safe Corps, Amotekun and conventional security outfits  to curb the menace of kidnapping in the State.

Opening debate on the motion during a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Right Honoursble Olakunle Oluomo; the sponsor and a member representing Odeda State Constituency, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, cited instances of recent kidnapping in his constituency.

Elemide  sought for a strategic empowerment of local security including the hunters to complement the operations of the Nigeria Police Forces, in securing lives and property of the people especially in the rural areas. 

Also other honourable members including Lawal Samsideen, Adegoke Adeyanju, Odunuga Kaka and Waliu Owode, stated that the present security peculiarity in the State required the reinforcement of more support from local hunters, So safe and Amotekun Corps to aid effective community policing.

They sought for the immediate convocation of stakeholders' meeting of all security agencies and the local security operators to provide a common front for a more effective security network.
