Insecurity: Kwara CP urges installation of CCTV cameras in places of worship
The Commissioner of Police in Kwara State, Tuesday Assayomo has urged religious bodies to install security gadgets such as CCTV cameras in their places of worship.
Mr Assayomo disclosed this during a security meeting with the command’s strategic security managers at the Police Officers Mess, Ilorin on Monday.
Reviewing existing security strategies in the state, the commissioner also advised employers of private or local guards to complement those provided by the police.
He said security breaches in some states, the ban of Okada operations in other states, especially Lagos, had sent jitters down the spines of residents of Kwara.
“Owing to the proximity of Kwara state to Lagos state, people are nursing the fear that the banned Okada operators may head for Kwara state with all its attendant risks,” he said.
The CP directed Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Command’s Tactical Units to intensify patrols, intelligence gathering and to also apply effective mobilisation of vigilance groups, hunters and other local security apparatus.
He also called on motorcycle and Tricycles Unions in Kwara to embark on adequate profiling of both existing and new members for easy identification and monitoring.
