President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched a high-tech security offensive in Plateau State, ordering the immediate deployment of over 5,000 artificial intelligence-enabled surveillance cameras.
The move follows the tragic March 29 attacks in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North, which claimed 29 lives.
Speaking at the Yakubu Gowon Airport in Jos, the President reassured grieving families and traditional leaders that the cycle of violence would be permanently broken.
The new AI-backed system, which has already seen success in Lagos and Enugu, will be coordinated by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijjani, in partnership with state authorities.
“This is not just about reacting to crime; it is about preventing it. We are leveraging technology to strengthen intelligence gathering and ultimately save lives,” President Tinubu declared.
Key Directives from the President’s Visit:
Security Mandate: A direct order was issued to the Minister of Defence and the Inspector-General of Police to "unearth and find the killers" with no hiding place allowed.
Humanitarian Support: Minister Bernard Doro has been directed to create a comprehensive database of victims to ensure equitable federal assistance.
Grassroots Defense: Governor Caleb Mutfwang confirmed the President’s approval for 1,000 new forest guards to bolster rural security.
Former governors Jonah Jang and Simon Lalong joined the President, calling for a "frank, closed-door stakeholders' meeting" in Abuja to address the root causes of the crisis as it shifts from rural areas into urban centers.
Despite the grief, the atmosphere was one of renewed hope, with APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda noting that the President's personal intervention has provided a psychological boost to the state.
