The recent drone handover ceremony to the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of the Zone, Abiodun Asabi, at the Zone Headquarters in Akure, marked a milestone in the fight against crime in Nigeria. The company behind the initiative, led by Ory Akinseloyin, stressed the importance of everyone’s involvement in the fight against crime, saying it should be a concern of all.

He called on wealthy individuals in the area to contribute to making the area safe for all, stressing that the police and the NSCDC will be trained to optimize the use of drones.
By involving technology and drones in security operations, agencies will be able to improve their efficiency and reduce risks to security agents. By training personnel on the use of these tools, the company shows its commitment to providing concrete support to local authorities.
The company’s contribution to the fight against crime is welcomed by local authorities, who recognize the added value of this technology in security operations. AIG Abiodun Asabi described the donation as a groundbreaking event for the security of people and property in the area, stressing the importance of collaboration between the private sector and security agencies to achieve concrete results.
In conclusion, the handover of these drones to the Nigerian security agencies marks a significant step towards a more modern and effective approach to fighting crime. This innovative partnership will provide law enforcement agencies with essential tools to prevent and combat crime, thereby enhancing the security and protection of citizens in the region.
