Inorder to ensure peace and rest of mind in the heart of Enugu indigenes, Police has beef up security in the state by using helicopters to monitor the wayabouts in the state.
The spokesman of the police in the state, Mr
Ebere Amaraizu, told the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Enugu that the helicopters were on an
aerial monitoring exercise of the three senatorial
zones.
``As part of measures to ensure that the entire
state is safe and secure, the state command,
through the Air-Wing of the Nigeria Police Force,
has begun an aerial surveillance of the three
senatorial zones.
``This exercise will offer the platform to fish out
would-be mischief makers and for officers to
have proper sight of all the nooks and crannies
of the state for effective crime prevention and
control,’’ he said.
Amaraizu, a Superintendent of Police, noted that
the Enugu Commissioner of Police, Mr Emmanuel
Ojukwu, had earlier advised members of the
public not to panic on sighting the helicopters.
``It is the gesture of the Inspector-General of
Police and government to ensure that the entire
area is made safe.
``The command has mobilised security
operatives, working in partnership with relevant
stakeholders and police pilots, with a view to
flushing out criminals from their hideouts in the
state,’’ he said.
The state command currently has three
helicopters and a heliport at its disposal in
Enugu.
