According to Sanusi, security remains a collective responsibility requiring cooperation among communities, traditional institutions, government and legally recognised security agencies.

Chief Sanusi expressed appreciation to Sunday Igboho for the visit and reaffirmed his support for initiatives focused on peace, security, unity and sustainable development in the region.
He noted that the engagement underscored the importance of dialogue and cooperation among stakeholders in addressing contemporary security challenges confronting communities across Yorubaland.
