In a statement shared on his official X account, Adejobi highlighted the empowerment provided by section 30 of the Police Act of 2020, which grants citizens the authority to arrest any suspect or criminal.

He emphasized, “INTERNAL SECURITY: It requires our collective responsibility to tackle insecurity in Nigeria. Every citizen (and resident) has a role to play, including me. Sec 30 of the Police Act 2020 has empowered you to arrest any suspect or criminal, as the case may be. Then, a community that comprises many individuals has more powers to perform wonders in combating crimes and criminality in our society. Let’s all exercise our powers as people to curb insecurity in Nigeria. I will always play my role as a Nigerian. What of you?”

Adejobi’s statement comes amidst a surge in cases of abduction reported in various states across the country.
