Over five thousand surveillance cameras are to be installed at different locations in Plateau State to check crimes and insecurity.
This was disclosed by President Bola Tinubu during a condolence visit to the people of Plateau State, following the recent attack that claimed the lives of innocent residents at Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government.
Condoling with the families of victims who were present at the meeting, the President said the planned installation of surveillance cameras is part of a deliberate move towards forestalling the kind of attacks that befell residents in the State.
The President also stressed the need for peaceful coexistence which according to him remains a panacea for the country’s progress and stability.
He urged citizens to build bridges of unity, tolerance, and understanding, noting that preventing further violence is critical to fostering national development.
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang appreciated the President’s visit and show of concern, but expressed worry over the recent wave of attacks in the state, describing the situation as disturbing and requires urgent attention.
The meeting had in attendance former Governors, serving and former National and State Assembly members, traditional rulers, government appointees, as well as relatives of those killed in the Angwan Rukuba attack.
