How Culture Can Assist Tackle Insecurity in Ilorin Emirate, Says Ex-FCC Director

Date: 2022-07-20

A former Director at the Federal Character Commission, FCC, Mallam Abdulbaqi Jimoh, has identified the primary culture of the people of Ilorin Emirate as potent solution to the security challenges affecting the ancient Kwara town and its inhabitants.

He made this known at the 5th Ilorin Likeminds Foundation Annual General Meeting and Dinner.

While lamenting that the people of Ilorin Emirate have allowed their culture to ebbing away in an alarming rate, Mallam Jimoh, argued that since Ilorin Emirate is a microcosm of Nigeria as a nation, whatever challenges the nation has will naturally affect the Emirate.

“Therefore, the security challenges in Nigeria are being experienced in the Emirate as well. Topmost in the list of security challenges we have are kidnapping, ritual killings, Yahoo Yahoo, banditry, armed robbery, cultism, drug and raping,” he said.

Speaking on 'Ilorin Emirate's Culture and Security Challenges: Which way forward,' the former FCC Director, observed that most Ilorin Emirate's elites have abandoned the culture of communal existence, and embraced the eurocentric concept of individualism.

Jimoh said: “IEDPU should be mandated to discuss the issue of raising a trusted and pious prayer warriors, who can perform something akin to the Oke Suna prayer for the fortification of Ilorin Emirate in particular, and the state/Nigeria in general. This should not be a one off affair, probably once in a decade or even annually.

“The time is now, when we should all stand up and draw a blue print for the implementation of different solutions offered in different fora for the eradication of the insecurity biting hard into the social fabrics of our great ancient Ilorin Emirate, its environs and the state in general”.
