The governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano is not dulling o. The state is deploying drones and a handful of other hi-tech surveillance equipment to fight crime in the state I am told.
The pictures above show the governor during the final test-running of the drones at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia last weekend.
If a state can invest in such surveillance equipments, why can't the federal government of Nigeria do the same in Sambisa forest to #bringbackourgirls?
Anambra people seem to be really behind their governor. I heard that Ndi Anambra living in Abuja last week raised about N100m to support their governor's security initiative.
According to the governor, the use of the drones have started yielding results. “Modern crime-fighting requires a lot of creativity. Criminals are extremely inventive and we have to be a step ahead of them to outsmart them. We are relying heavily on technology to give us their coordinates and the general direction of their plans,” he further explained, recalling that the recent rescue of a kidnap victim who was tracked all the way to Orlu in Imo State was a clear demonstration of the efficacy of technology in crime fighting.
“As soon as we got wind of the kidnap we moved in and activated the devices. We monitored their movement to their hideout in Orlu, Imo State and waited until all the suspects were fully in before we picked them up.”, Obiano said.
Hahaha. Those are toy helicopter. It's sold
ReplyDeleteFor $59.95. Its a radio controlled chopper with range of 100 ft
Hah,people would just be lying... If you don't know what it is or how much it cost, why not key those in the know talk
DeleteAgwoturumnbe pls stick to your field of knowledge.
DeleteThat is a drone (not only the airplane types are called drones you know)
t is called UAV(unmanned aerial vehicals) and it comes with a complete package this is the SR200 it looks like toy but it is complex machine that you most be trainned to handle it can be deployed at any location it has its own command base they could afford to buy 20 if the desire its not a drone and the price....I won't say, so I won't put someone in trouble but its way more than $60
DeleteAtari Ajanaku ki she eru omode.........
DeleteLol most of us in Lagos own drones and we're just film makers. This are not security drones. The max flight time is about 20minutes. Depending on the FPV and transmitter power installed on it, it should travel about 2 miles. The proper security drones are armed drones, and u can control the cameras e.g Zoom in and out remotely. This is Naija tho
DeleteSomeone just got rich off the poor governor😀, drone of life.
DeleteNice one. I sincerely hope the drones don't pack up after 6 months.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk! Nigeria and maintenance!
DeleteThat's good, really nice to see such improvements in the state
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Wow!..why can't the northern governors do the same?...yeye dey smell...
ReplyDeleteThey should continue killing themselves there...well done my Governor...chukwu gozie gi...
GEJ till 2019!!...
but this isn't a drone na... this is a quadrocopter, a toy that people use to have fun in more developed parts of the world. This can be easily shot down, won't go high up in the sky and has a radius of not more that ten kilometres. We aren't fools!
ReplyDeleteQuads are not only used for fun. They are used for surveillance too...and the range it can travel depends on the size of the drone (battery life and tinz)
DeleteTho this is a small drone, im guessing they would employ more

Deletejoke gone wrong@1:35pm
DeleteDumb shitttttt! Stupid governor and his supporters. We don't have no good roads, no electricity, no clean water, no good healthcare, fuck up university, graduates roaming around with 80% of them jobless.
DeleteStupid leaders, motherfuckers corrupt Supreme Court Justices, dumb ass President and his child molesters Senators and pastors, (attention Catholic Bishops).
Honestly. In Patt Ogar's voice I curse all the leaders that have ruled that country since the independence.
In Deekays' sweet liberal voices I sing I fly away oh glory, I fly away, when I die hallelujah bye bye, I fly away.
No hopes, no values, no dreams. We're hopeless! "Pillar of Africa my ass".
brokenenglishmandey its not a rant post *lays hands on ya head* peace in JN
DeleteWith developments like this, its only a matter of time before criminals and terrorists will be wiped off the surface of the earth.
ReplyDeleteI hope our President will steal this idea from Anambra State Governor.
US has more drones than this toy and yet there is war and crime everywhere in US who is fooling who
DeleteGood one. Even if it is just security he give's his people they will never forget him.
ReplyDeleteWow! Impressive...

ReplyDeleteHmmmm!!!!! Dat is what d federal Government should do! We need about 4 drones (big ones) in ds country. Train d army to use them. Terrorism can be combated using drones. I really wonder what d federal govt are waiting for? Honestly.
ReplyDeleteNo drones 2billion dollars is missing with drones there will be no federal reserve
Deletegud one
ReplyDeleteFantastic
ReplyDeleteGood for him and them. (˘̯˘ )( ˘˘̯) I hope a fraction of the money spent on security is going for food too. 'Cos an hungry man is an angry man
ReplyDeleteAnd 'an' hungry man will always remain hungry when he doesn't go out to find what to eat.
DeleteGood one, this is really cool. but the drones are fairly conspicuous for anyone actually looking for it. It should have been kept secret, IMO sha o!
ReplyDeleteNice initiative by my able governor. Security should be our number one priority @d moment.
ReplyDeleteYes o, ma Stella, Ndi Anambra is fully behind him. Obiano is working
Good for him and them. (˘̯˘ )( ˘˘̯) I hope a fraction of the money spent on security is going for food too. 'Cos an hungry man is an angry man
ReplyDelete.
Stella do you know why I love you? you no dey come last at all. You are always on point, yes ohhh, our amiable governor is trying, he said that he want to celebrate his 100 days in office in a crie free environment, that even if you forgot your bag at the popular UPPER IWEKA, that when you come back to the place you carry your bag. At least my people told me they can now sleep with their two eyes closed.
ReplyDeleteWe will get there, God bless this Governor.
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh

ReplyDeleteIf you don't know things always keep your bloody mouth shut that thing is not a toy and it is the SR if you want the information about manufacturer contact me. Fool
ReplyDeleteThis is very dumb. you don't announce this kind of tactical acquisition. Especially in this case when its not a real drone. i remember years ago when i tried buying a toy like this in the uk and i complained about the price, the store attendant said to me it was a toy for big boys!! Bet the gov and his big boy friends are just having fun. Or is the display attached to the device up in the sky?? Not a drone. praise your Gov for other achievements not for this PLEASE!
ReplyDelete@Atari Ajanaku... U r d bigger FOOL... U claimed in ur earlier comment that its an SR200, a simple search on Google will show u dat d real SR200 UAV is an helicopter drone while wat was shown on dis post is Quadcopter... I was only trying to educate u... Abi ur phone no get Google nii.. Ode forming drone expert shiooor..
ReplyDeleteopen your mouth child *drops lumps of sugar* too much bile makes the soul bitter!
Delete@AtariAjanaku..U r d BIGGEST FOOL.... D SR200 vertical take off landing UAV drone is like a small helicopter, however wat was shown on dis post is a Quadcopter. They r 2 different tins... Jst take d trouble to Google it... Ode forming drone expert.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a quadcopter if you ask nicely I will give you all the details it is a UAV knowledge is key

ReplyDeleteBut SDK create a blog group oo. Half of your visitors here are from Anambra State. Imagine Okija wife, Baby Oku?, Jules, pinkyberry,chinyere Ada Jesus, lady precious,eedreamz,thatigbobabe,queen of this blog, iphie dearie etc etc. Haaaa. "Afraid catch me".
Hmmmmmm i can only imagine the harm drones usage will do to us,smh....remembering the fact we abuse everything....money miss road individuals will also get theirs for God knows what..nd what next? drones traffic jam on our air space.Trust me anyone that hits my startimes antenna, i ll catapult it down,no jokes.. expecting celebs like wizkid to post his on instagram "wizzydrone straight from NY,omo baba lowo am watching you"
ReplyDeleteokija wife is yoruba that just married to Anambra man.
ReplyDeleteOh I see. Txs for the info.
Delete@AtariAjanaku... Quadcopter is a generic name for these types of drones that are lifted and propelled by four rotors.
ReplyDeleteThe Dragonfly you mentioned is just the name of a brand of quadcopter drones.The one used by the anambra state govt is not a Dragonfly, compare the two pictures.
Rotormotion brands of drones are like miniature helicopters in design.
A job well done my Excellency!
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is to always keep check on the people you have employed to manage the drones and above all be very careful as we have sabotuers (informants to those kidnappers.
wishing anambra state good luck!
These are multirotors small UAVs designed for short time flights (6-25 mins) mainly designed for film and aerial photography. They now available here in Nigeria and their prices are listed too - http://drones.ng/spreading-wings-s800-evo/
