Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Ogun acquires drones to tackle criminal activities

The Ogun State Government has acquired drones to monitor and check criminal activities, particularly along the major highways across the State.

Governor Dapo Abiodun disclosed this when he received the new Commissioner of Police, Yomi Oladimeji, during a courtesy visit to his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

“Recently, we have acquired drones to allow us monitor, particularly, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and other major highways so that we can identify threats and respond to them with dispatch.

“CP Oladimeji, you have your job cut out for you. We have in the past had farmers/herders crises, and we are facing issues of cultism that continued to be on the rise, which we find very strange.

“There are issues of kidnapping here and there but I must thank the men and women of our law enforcement architecture, including the police, DSS, the military, Civil Defence and other members of our security architecture for the hard work that has earned us the enviable title as one of the most peaceful States in Nigeria,” he noted.

The governor said Ogun, as a state with the highest number of industries and also serving as the education and religious capital, was expected to have an influx of people with its attendant challenges, adding that the desire of his administration was to have a crime-free society to attract more investors to the state.
