As part of its efforts to combat insecurity, the Ekiti State Government has said it plans to acquire a sophisticated drone to complement the one it currently has. Similarly, the Ogun State Government says it is considering deploying closed-circuit television in some critical areas in the state.
The Special Adviser on Security Matters to Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Brig.-Gen. Ebenezer Ogundana (retd), said government had begun negotiations with a vendor for the purchase of a more sensitive drone to meet the security needs of the state, especially with the peculiar nature of its environment.

Amotekun was launched only a few days ago in Oyo State; what is your assurance to the people on the ability of the outfit to deliver on its mandate?
Amotekun, a security outfit established by the Oyo State Government, is not independent. It is to work with other security agencies to bring stability to Oyo State. People should not look at Amotekun as being independent. We are going to work in synergy with other security agencies in Oyo State to bring stability, security and peace of mind to our state.
