Alowonle was arrested in Oshodi
while the mobile CCTV was just being deployed to monitor the area. The suspect
said that he came to Lagos about two years ago and had been working as a bus
conductor.
Alowonle was arrested after stealing
from another commuter handbag on the pedestrian walk way.
The mobile CCTV camera was parading
Oshodi when it sighted Alowonle in the crowd picking from a passerby’s
handbag.
The newly deployed mobile CCTV
camera is procured by the Lagos State Government for operatives of the Rapid
Response Squad. The CCTV camera was jointly managed and put into use by both
the RRS operatives and technical assistance by the Lagos State Response Unit,
(LRU).
The emergency management parastatal
of the Lagos State Government handled the technical knowhow of the camera,
while men of the RRS took charge of the security aspect.
The mobile CCTV is geared towards
helping security operatives in close monitoring and wider view of Lagos crime
prone areas and also to enhance prompt detective ability of security men in the
state.
The Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, while
handing over the security mechanism to the Commander RRS, Tunji Disu, said that
the present administration is on top of the fulfillment of its agenda, which
security and empowerment of security operatives were among top priority.
