Nsukka, Enugu State, yesterday.
The spokesman of the police in the state, Mr
Ebere Amaraizu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu that the
helicopters were on an aerial monitoring exercise of the three senatorial
zones.
“As part of measures to ensure
that the entire state is safe and secure, the state command, through the
Air-Wing of the Nigeria Police Force, has begun an aerial surveillance of the
three senatorial zones.
“This exercise will offer the
platform to fish out would-be mischief makers and for officers to have proper
sight of all the nooks and crannies of the state for effective crime prevention
and control,’’ he said.
Amaraizu, a Superintendent of
Police, noted that the Enugu Commissioner of Police, Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu, had
earlier advised members of the public not to panic on sighting the helicopters.
“It is the gesture of the
Inspector-General of Police and government to ensure that the entire area is
made safe.
“The command has mobilised
security operatives, working in partnership with relevant stakeholders and
police pilots, with a view to flushing out criminals from their hideouts in the
state,’’ he said.
The state command currently has three helicopters and a
heliport at its disposal in Enugu.
