‎The Edo State Security Squad has directed business owners across the state to install Closed-Circuit Television cameras at their premises on or before July 30 as part of efforts to strengthen security and tackle crime.

‎The spokesperson for the squad, Noah Idemudia, announced the directive on Monday while briefing journalists in Benin City.

‎He said functional CCTV cameras would improve the ability of security agencies to investigate crimes, identify suspects and obtain evidence for prosecution.
