Religious leaders and stakeholders in Akure have thrown their weight behind the directive issued by the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Lawal, calling for the installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in worship centres and other public places across the state capital.
The directive, aimed at strengthening security surveillance, is part of efforts to curb rising criminal activities and enhance intelligence gathering within the metropolis.
Clerics and faith-based organisations described the move as proactive, noting that modern security challenges require the adoption of technology-driven solutions. They emphasized that worship centres, which often host large gatherings, must prioritise the safety of congregants.
Supporters of the initiative said the installation of CCTV systems would not only deter criminal elements but also assist law enforcement agencies in investigating incidents swiftly and effectively.
Commissioner of Police Adebowale Lawal had earlier stressed that collaboration between security agencies and community stakeholders remains critical in safeguarding lives and property.
Residents have also been encouraged to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to ensure a safer environment for all.
