| Willie Obiano - Governor Anambra State |
A statement by the commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C-Don Adinuba, asked the people of the state not to panic about the heavy presence of helicopters and other security operations in the state.
Here is the statement issued, "The Anambra State Government is increasing its air surveillance during the Christmas and New Year period.
"Helicopters to patrol all parts of the state are being deployed. The helicopters will sometimes fly at low altitudes. This is to enable the pilots and other security agents flying with them to have bird's eye view of the security situation in every place.
"They will monitor the movement of individuals and even cattle. They will also monitor vehicular traffic. They will provide reports constantly to appropriate agencies for prompt action."
It added, "The state government, therefore, urges the people of Anambra State and individuals and groups passing through the state not to panic or be afraid. The monitoring presence of helicopters is for their benefits.
"The helicopters are the latest in a series of far reaching measures which the Willie Obiano administration has adopted to make the Christmas and New Year celebrations most rewarding for our people as they travel in their millions from all parts of the world to their homeland, often accompanied by friends and well wishers."
Adinuba also said that the government had started the installation of Closed Circuit Television Cameras in the three leading cities in the state.
He said, "The installation will be in conjunction with the Boston Innovation Centre in Massachusetts, United States.
