The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has berated the lack of tracking equipment for security agencies in the nation’s capital, saying his istration will purchase drones for surveillance at border communities.
He singled out the FCT commands of the police and the Department of State Services, which he said lacked ordinary tracking devices.

The minister spoke during a chat with journalists on Thursday.

He said, “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 explained that his istration had earlier applied to the Bureau of Public Procurement for emergency procurement of equipment for the security agencies, but was denied, until the President gave approval in January, following the abduction of some persons.

Wike also said that the FCT istration under his leadership planned to purchase drones to enhance and monitor security, particularly at the boundaries of the FCT.

"In fact, that is one of the approvals Mr President gave to us. We are going to purchase our own drones to help in surveillance and in operation, particularly within these boundaries that the topography is so bad, so hilly, and where you have the forests. And we make sure that it is provided in the 2024 statutory budget. I briefed this to the National Assembly yesterday (Wednesday) and they were highly elated,” he said.

[b]Digital ID'S

1-CCTV in all Petrol station and Major areas

2-Anybody getting in a suspicious vehicle should take a picture of the car with the license plates visible. Send the pictures to a police database (Created by the police ) or to a close family or a group chat.
That way the same car and plates cannot be used twice. Either they have to repaint the car or change the plates. Prevents the one chance kidnappers to use the same vehicle every night.

3-Better still the driver, will text the enger with his license plates number/phone number, the intending enger will forward the text to a trusted person. If anything happens to the enger, the trusted person has the phone number and license plates of the driver. This takes 5 minutes. All drivers should display their numbers for engers to crosscheck.

4-Make every commercial vehicle carry a barcode sticker. engers scan it with their phone before they enter. Scan is ed simultaneously, if the person is declared missing. I can tell you the last vehicle there were in under 5 mins.

5-You can geo-fence your phone, If you travel from gwarimpa to wuse everyday. The day you travel outside this zone to Suleja, your phone will automatically send your location texts every 5 mins to a pre-designated number till the phone dies. If you are kidnapped, just ask the kidnappers to turn on your phone, so you can get the number to call for ransom, once you turn on phone it will send location to pre-determined number immediately.

There are so many cheap technology, to curb kidnap and one chance, Get a few technology inclined people together, they will come up with a solution in less than 24 hours.[/b]

Pantami the terrorist scammed us.
The enforcement measures when he was minister by ensuring Nigerians link NIN to BVN with the excuse of tracking kidnappers and by making it mandatory for Nigerians gather at various NIMC offices during the covid 19 pandemic to their NIN so as to fight insecurity happened to be bogus measures of fighting insecurity. People contracted COVID and died during those enforcement measures yet it's a pity that nothing good was derived

This is so disheartening..
This one of the reasons why I frown whenever Nigeria is being compared to America by our senseless politicians

was it in rivers state when you were the governor, who should provide it, continue playing to the gallery.

we no forget how you hide palliative during covid 19

Mirror on the wall bro.

Can this be true?
Or is this one of those ploys to award contract going into billions of naira that eventually will not be executed but fully paid?
In Nigeria, the more you look, the less you see.

Later you will hear say each drone was purchased for 100 million naira. God go help us for dis kontri

So called highly rated state security department with no ICT/tracking information is more or less like boy scout with guns...

Proper state security department should have access to real time positioning information.

But if a group of people are planning to protest against government policies, they will be tracked and prosecuted quickly?

Lots of innocent lives will be lost

Politicians just like to talk things
wey nor get meaning..

What do they mean by "tracking device"
for this matter❓❓❓

What we need is helicopter squads in
the kidnap endemic areas for rapid response
to distress calls night or day.

Once we have helicopter emergency
response squads in Abuja, Kaduna,
Zamfara and Kaduna, once kidnappers
strike, the squad is notified and they
take off with armed men and Apache style
military helicopter, they can be at the
location within 30 minutes, while a ground
troop can follow up for reinforcement.

So long as we don't change tactics, these
bandits will never stop.

I will never believe this anyways.
