“He needs to put his house together, organize his government, and make sure that he knows the Police cover this country effectively because every LG in Nigeria has a police division. There is DPO, and some LGs that are heavily populated have more than one DPO.”

Adebayo said nobody can commit a crime and last for one month without government people cooperating with him/her.

"The first enemy of government is government, the first enemy of the people is government. You cannot commit a crime and last one week, one month if you don't have government people cooperating with you."
