To set the records straight and rescue Nigerians from
misleading information, we wish to categorically state that the modest success
we have achieved so far in securing Anambra State from criminals comes from the
superior intelligence gathering by the State Security Service (SSS) and the
quick response rate of the members of the Joint Task Force on Security
otherwise known as the Operation Kpochapu.
While it is true that the Anambra State Government has
been carrying out broad tests on the use of drones to overcome some challenges
in recent times, our efforts have been largely restricted to how to adapt the
technology for accurate mapping of the state, general surveillance and
generating reliable and accurate data on the ravages of gully erosion on our precious
soil.
However, we are in full awareness of the increasing
powers of the media which has grown in recent years with the introduction of
the social media. In this particular instance, our modest efforts to adapt the
drone technology to solve some development challenges in Anambra State have
been regrettably reported out of context.
This announcement is essentially for the records.
Thank you
Signed
