"Another important thing is the intelligence gathering that is why we have the community policing system where policemen would be trained in their own local government and they would remain there," he said.

According to Osinbajo, the government would also be engaging the military to watch flashpoints on the roads in order to boast its community policing system.

"As close as we get to the community policing structure that we exepect to have while we are engaging the Army so that there will be a bit of more military presence especially along the roads.

"This is to hasten the search for these killers and also to ensure that there is adequate presence to deter this kind of terrible situation from reoccurring.

"We are looking at the whole security architecture and trying to ensure that we are able to scale up and ensure that we are able to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.

"Security in a big country like Nigeria as you can imagine the challenge is dynamic and the we also have to be constistently dynamic and ensure that we are able to beat the challenages as they appear.

"I think that we can be very hopeful that we would see peace and calm as some of the steps we are taking come fruition.
