Macaulay said, “We must act fast to curb this menace. Just within eight months, we have recorded three different killings within this community and this is heartbreaking. Tomorrow, it can be anyone. We must act fast to curb this menace.

“As fathers, mothers and youths, we must put all necessary measures in place to ensure we secure this community. We shouldn’t leave it for only the vigilantes or the police.

“As landlords and leaders, we must put up measures to monitor those staying in our compounds. And we must report suspicious moves and actions to the security agencies. Without information they cannot act.

“The security of this community is everybody’s business. We should be our brothers and sisters keepers. This is the only way we can effectively protect this community”, Macaulay advised.
