FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike says his administration will purchase drones for surveillance at border communities to fight insecurity.
Wike, who made this known in a chat with journalists on Thursday, berated the lack of tracking equipment for security agencies in the nation’s capital.
“It’s unfortunate to say this, that mostly the security agencies, in particular I will say, the police here, are not adequately equipped. In fact, you cannot believe it that the police command of the FCT do not even have ordinary tracking device. You cannot believe that.
“Not only them, even the FCT Command of the Department of State Services do not even have. And the only one they have is at the headquarters. So, if there are things to do, they have to go to the headquarters, which is not supposed to be.
“Luckily, I told Mr President that look, we have to do something, and there must be emergency procurement of this equipment,” he said.
