Governor Umahi Installs CCTV Cameras Within Abakaliki Metropolis (Photo)

In a bid to increase security coverage of the state, the Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has commenced the installation of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras at some
vantage points within the state capital, Abakaliki.

These CCTV Cameras are being installed in front of the Government House and at the Udensi Roundabout all situated around the Government house and Police Headquarters. Recall that upon assumption of office, the
governor had emphasized his commitment to ensuring a safer and more conducive Ebonyi
State. And immediately he was sworn in, the next day he illuminated the whole roads and streets within Abakaliki metropolis which had
throughout the sixteen years of Sam Egwu and Martin Elechi’s regime remained in total darkness, thereby giving rise to all sorts of
criminal activities in the night.

It’s also noteworthy that since the street lights were installed, there has been a drastic reduction in cases of hand bag snatching, kidnapping and other social vices. On the other
hand, it has enhanced night activities and the state’s social life.
