The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, says his administration would soon take delivery of drones to enhance security and assist in monitoring identified black spots in the state.
Abiodun disclosed this on Friday, at the launch of the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem, held at the Governor’s Office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
He said the drones would be deployed particularly on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, to combat kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and other forms of criminal activities being perpetrated on the highway.
In his words, “We will soon be taking delivery of our drones that we have ordered, this will allow us to monitor the length and breadth of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and all those areas where people engage in nefarious activities.
“We will continue to find those that will collaborate with us. I recently met with two persons who are highly placed in law enforcement and have decided that they are going to come and work with us by assisting with training, support and fund raising. I will unveil these people in the next couple of weeks and introduce them to you,” the governor stated.
