The police at the weekend
took delivery of a surveillance helicopter to battle militancy,
kidnapping and sea pirates in the Southsouth.
Assistant Inspector-General of Police,
Zone 6 , Tunde Ogunsakin, said the police had scored a big point in the
region with the acquisition.
The helicopter is fitted with modern communication gadgets to aid effective surveillance in the creeks.
The surveillance helicopter arrives on
the heels of a pact by the command and sister security agencies within
the zone to form a joint task force to checkmate security threat in the
area.
While describing the helicopter’s
arrival as a welcome development, AIG Ogunsakin applauded Inspector
General of Police Solomon Erase for his commitment to peace and security
in the zone.
Ogunsakin, who was elated at the
development, promised to chase kidnappers out of the zone. While
emphasizing the importance of a joint security operation, Ogunsakin
assured that the security forces would deploy technologically-driven and
action able intelligence in actualising their common goal in policing
the zone.
The five-seater capacity surveillance helicopter, according to him, would help to reinforce the command’s war arsenal.
