Lagos unveils drone surveillance to boost security
The Lagos State Government has launched a drone surveillance programme aimed at improving crime monitoring and emergency response of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps across the state.
The Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Olugbenga Oyerinde, made this known at the 2025 Annual Ministerial Press Briefing held on Tuesday at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, Ikeja.
According to Oyerinde, the drone technology will provide real-time aerial visuals of crime hotspots, feeding data directly into a newly established ICT-based situation room.
He added that the deployment of drone surveillance marked a major milestone in the state’s broader strategy to modernise its security infrastructure and reinforce safety at the grassroots level.
