The Edo State Security Squad (ESSS) has given July 30 as deadline for businesses in the state to complete installation of functional Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems in their business premises to help fight insecurity or face clamp down.
The ESSS urged all business owners across the state to obey the directive to assist the government and security agencies in the state in the fight against insecurity.
Addressing newsmen in Benin on Monday July 6, the Spokesperson for the squad, Mr Noah Idemudia said that CCTV cameras would help security agencies investigate crimes they might otherwise miss, and uncover vital evidence.
Idemudia disclosed that the squad recently arrested two suspects from Auchi and Uromi for cultism and illegal possession of firearms. He said the suspects would be charged before the mobile court established by Gov. Monday Okpebholo to fast-track trial of suspected cultists and kidnappers.
