Скачать или смотреть CCTVs Not Working, Contract Should Be Investigated – Ejiofor Part1

A former Director of the State Security Service (SSS), Mike Ejiofor says the CCTVs installed in Abuja and Lagos by the Federal Government of Nigeria, for which a loan of about 475 million dollars was obtained, are not working.

He urged the government to institute a high powered investigation of the issue, stressing that the Federal Government (FG) should not watch while resources are thrown away.

"It is a loan that has to be paid by the Federal Government. We should not watch our resources thrown away like that.

"It is a dangerous aspect of security infrastructure because I remember that the FG took a loan of about 475 million dollars to install CCTV cameras in Abuja and Lagos.

"I am telling you now that those cameras are not working, which is very terrible.

"The cameras, if they were okay, would have assisted in checking what happened at Emab Plaza in Abuja last month," he told Channels Television on Friday.

He pointed out that "the ineffectiveness of the cameras is a big challenge that must be tackled".

Mr Ejiofor also stressed that for Nigeria to succeed in the fight against terrorism technological assistance in investigation, in terms of CCTV, was necessary.
