IBEJU LEKKI GETS SURVEILLANCE CAMERA..see exclusive pix!

In his desire to consolidate on the status of Lagos State as the most secured state in Nigeria, the governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode has approved land to the Nigerian Navy at Ibeju Lekki for the installation of surveillance equipment to monitor activities on the Nigerian territorial waters and a little beyond the exclusive economic zones of the country.

During a visit to Alausa by the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas, the governor highlighted the importance of the surveillance cameras citing that the abducted students of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu who were recently kidnapped but rescued by security agents were hidden in the creeks for six days, a scenario which the availability of surveillance equipments would have nipped in the bud.

This move which many pundits have praised, is seen as the beginning of a new initiative that will ensure that the whole state is properly secured with the use of state of the art surveillance equipments. See pixs.
