"In tradition, there a lot of methods our forfathers used to secure lives and properties. Some criminal elements, who, at times, overpower security agents use traditional powers. Why can’t the government look in that direction"? the monarch asked.

"The modern theory, technology has taken the tradtional value out of our system"

He further supported his suggestion with a story of a man identified 'jesu agege', 'Olugbala Ikeja who safeguarded top places without being physically present.

He urged NAOSRE to sustain its noble task of promoting effective security communication.
