Owo attack: Akeredolu mandates use of CCTV in worship centres, hospitals, eateries, others

Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has signed an Executive Order for the compulsory installation and use of Close Circuit Television (CCTV) devices in worship centres, hospitals and other public and private institutions in the state. 
According to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde, the order becomes imperative in light of the spate of insecurity in the country and the need to ensure security of lives and property in all public and private institutions throughout the state.
