Enugu, Nigeria – The National Deputy Chairman (South) of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Professor Nick Ezeh (Ugoeze Enugu State), has raised alarm over Nigeria’s worsening security situation, urging youths to become more vigilant and actively support government efforts in tackling insecurity across the nation.
Speaking in Enugu, the capital of Enugu State, at the PCRC Youth Conference themed “The Police: Bridging the Gap”, Prof. Ezeh described the current state of national security as a “quagmire,” stressing that a collaborative effort between the police and the citizenry, especially the youth, is crucial to addressing the challenge.
He hailed the timing of the conference, which focused on critical issues like drug abuse, cultism, and gangsterism — vices he said are steadily eroding the nation’s moral fabric and threatening peace in communities.
Professor Ezeh also urged participants to freely interact and share their experiences, emphasizing the need to “know where the shoe pinches.” He encouraged young people to partner with the police by providing credible information and resisting the temptation to take laws into their own hands.
According to him, building trust and cooperation between the police and the public, particularly the youth, is the only sustainable path toward achieving lasting peace and security.
