Anambra State Government Donates 110 Innoson Vehicles To Security Operatives, Launches Operation Kpochapu 2

The governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano commissioned the Operation Kpochapu 2 and launches the SMART CITY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM in Anambra with 111 Smart Security Vehicles and over 70 Smart motorcycles for the Nigerian Police, Navy, Army, DSS, NSDC, correctional services, immigration services etc.

The governor appointed a retired Airforce General, Air Vice Marshal, Ben Chiobi, an experienced Fighter Pilot, as Special Adviser to spearhead and administrate the Creative Security policy.

Since coming on board Akpokuodike’s team, the AVM, working in concert with others, has come with the Anambra State Integrated Security Surveillance (ANISS), a platform for unveiling the creative security solutions powered by ICT.

Essentially, Operation Kpochapu-2 involves the provision of improved logistics support and motivation for the Police and other security agencies that operate jointly in a coordinated fight against crime and criminality. A total of one hundred and eleven cars, trucks, buses and 71 motorbikes form the crux of the renewed approach. The vehicles are already fitted with Communication gadgets, special light effects and other equipment for effective operations. The motorbikes will help reach areas not easily accessible by cars.

On the other hand, the ANISS will emplace a multimedia crime-fighting package that integrates pictures, videos and data analytics against the hitherto limiting system of reliance on reports and voice evidence. Amongst other operations, the ANISS will also articulate all emergency calls and wider surveillance footage in real-time enabled by a sophisticated system in key locations/hotspots across the state. Anambrans are encouraged to access and make calls through toll-free number 112 to report any emergencies for quick response by relevant security agencies.

It is worthy of note that all the vehicles were being supplied by Innoson Motors Company which has its headquarters in Nnewi.
