Mr Paul Ayeni, a retired commandant, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has urged governments to procure more operational vehicles for security agencies to strengthen their fight against criminal activities.
Ayeni gave this advice during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abeokuta.
According to Ayeni, many remote areas currently beyond the reach of security patrols have become havens for criminal hideouts.
He emphasised that functional operational vehicles, along with other security gadgets, would enhance patrol capabilities and enable operatives to obtain crucial first-hand information for necessary action.
