Anambra State Government Has Drones?

The governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano is not dulling o. The state is deploying drones and a handful of other hi-tech surveillance equipment to fight crime in the state I am told.

The pictures above show the governor during the final test-running of the drones at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia last weekend.

If a state can invest in such surveillance equipments, why can't the federal government of Nigeria do the same in Sambisa forest to #bringbackourgirls?

Anambra people seem to be really behind their governor. I heard that Ndi Anambra living in Abuja last week raised about N100m to support their governor's security initiative. 

According to the governor, the use of the drones have started yielding results. “Modern crime-fighting requires a lot of creativity. Criminals are extremely inventive and we have to be a step ahead of them to outsmart them. We are relying heavily on technology to give us their coordinates and the general direction of their plans,” he further explained, recalling that the recent rescue of a kidnap victim who was tracked all the way to Orlu in Imo State was a clear demonstration of the efficacy of technology in crime fighting. 

“As soon as we got wind of the kidnap we moved in and activated the devices. We monitored their movement to their hideout in Orlu, Imo State and waited until all the suspects were fully in before we picked them up.”, Obiano said.
