The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Oyo state, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, has said that the State Government would not change its decision to install security cameras in the correctional facilities across the State.

Adisa, who was a guest on Agidigbo 88.7FM in Ibadan explained saying that the State Government won’t abandon its plan to install cameras due to what the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola said about the State Government not having the power to install security cameras in the state’s correctional facilities.

The Governor of Oyo state had ordered that security cameras be installed in the correctional facilities across the State following the attack on the Abolongo Correctional Facility, during his visit to the centre.

The Nigerian Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola however, asked Seyi Makinde to drop the idea of installing security cameras in the correctional facilities across Oyo state.

In his speech the Governor’s spokesman said that the State Government already has a plan to install security cameras across the state to improve security before the Abolongo centre was attacked by gunmen.

He clarified that, “The government did not say it will install the CCTV cameras inside the prison but the government is going to cover that environment with security cameras.”

He added that it will enable the state security apparatus to be alerted and be deployed whenever there is a likelihood of an attack.

He went further to say, ‘’What we can do is to make sure that as much as possible, the situation within our four walls are contained and that is the essence of why we have to put in place security cameras. The idea is to cover the entire length of Oyo state.

Adisa added saying ‘’There was an idea like that before this government came on board; it was not taken to any level. It was just lying down. But we have now taken it off from the ground”.
