In a move to strengthen security, a United States-based businesswoman and custodian of Yoruba traditional history, Erelu Tinuade Mabel Onaneye, has installed 360-degree CCTV cameras in Ode Aye, an ancient town in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The surveillance system, positioned at strategic locations, is aimed at preventing crime, enhancing public safety, monitoring movements, and assisting law enforcement in investigations.
It is also expected to deter criminals, reduce theft, vandalism, and cult-related violence, while addressing concerns over other social vices affecting the area.
