Edo Central Senatorial APC Aspirant, Glory Oziegbe Momodu’s Strategic Plan to Overcome Insecurity in Edo Central Senatorial District
Engr. Glory Oziegbe Momodu acknowledges, in the light of current realms, that insecurity is of topmost concern to the good people of Edo Central Senatorial District and that our communities continue to face threats and actual acts of kidnappings, killings, herdsmen attacks, armed robberies, rapes and clashes disruptive of the daily lives of our beloved people and their economic activities.
Engr. Glory Oziegbe Momodu believes peace and security is a right and not a privilege since the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended stipulates that the protection of lives and properties is the responsibility of government. He believes that every citizen deserves to feel safe and protected as they go about their lawful activities.
As part of his commitment to a safer Edo Central, he will introduce a bold, technology-driven security plan that includes the deployment of surveillance cameras and drones across the district.
The key objectives of the aforementioned deployments are:
- To deter crimes and reduce insecurity in both urban and rural communities.
- To support law enforcement with modern tools for effective policing and crimes prevention.
- To promote community engagement and youth empowerment through technology.
The strategic actions required to achieve the foregoing are:
- Surveillance Camera Network.
- Install CCTV cameras in critical areas including markets, schools, motor parks, churches and government buildings.
- Set up local monitoring hubs in each LGA for real-time viewing and quick incident response.
- Provide valuable evidence for investigations and prosecution of criminals
- Aerial Surveillance with Drones.
- Deploy drones to monitor forests, farmlands, and remote areas where criminals often hide.
- Utilize drones with night vision to patrol at night and during emergencies.
- Assist security forces in tracking and intercepting suspects quickly and safely.
- Youth Training and Job Creation.
- Train local youth to operate surveillance equipment and drones.
- Create employment opportunities in security tech, drone maintenance, and data analysis.
- Foster a sense of ownership and pride in protecting their communities.
- Collaboration with Security Agencies and Communities.
- Work hand-in-hand with police, civil defense, and vigilante groups for coordinated action.
- Empower community leaders to identify hotspots and report suspicious activities.
- Ensure security technology is integrated with traditional intelligence-sharing methods.
- Ensure Legal and Ethical Safeguards.
- Respect citizens’ rights by implementing strict data protection and privacy policies.
- Establish oversight committees to ensure transparency and accountability.
Engr. Glory Oziegbe Momodu’s avowed commitment is that:
“As your senator, Engr. Glory Oziegbe Momodu will bring modern solutions to our age-old problems.
