DELTA ASSEMBLY MOVES TO AMEND COMMUNITY SECURITY CORPS LAW TO ENHANCE GRASSROOTS INTELLIGE
— A Strategic Push for Local Surveillance Under Governor Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda
ASABA, DELTA STATE – In a bold and proactive move to address emerging security concerns across Delta State, the Delta State House of Assembly has commenced legislative action to amend the Community Security Corps Agency Law. The amendment aims to empower local communities by recruiting indigenes with firsthand knowledge of their environment to support law enforcement through grassroots surveillance and intelligence gathering.
The bill, which has already scaled through its first and second readings, is now undergoing in-depth scrutiny at the Joint Committee on Special Bills of the House.
This strategic legislative move aligns seamlessly with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda – a visionary blueprint focused on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security. The goal is to create a peaceful and secure environment that attracts investment, encourages development, and promotes inclusive economic growth at the community level.
Speaking on the legislative initiative, sources within the Assembly affirm that the proposed amendment is not just reactive but visionary—placing trust in community-based intelligence as a sustainable model for long-term peace and security across the state.
Observers say that if passed and fully implemented, the amended law could become a model framework for other states grappling with similar security challenges, especially in rural and riverine areas where traditional law enforcement faces geographical and logistical constraints.
The move has drawn commendations from community leaders and civil society stakeholders who believe that empowering locals to safeguard their own communities is the most effective and sustainable pathway to curbing crime and maintaining peace.
As Delta continues to blaze the trail in subnational governance and innovation, this legislative step marks another milestone in building a secure and prosperous future for all Deltans.
