Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, South-West Nigeria has announced that law enforcement personnel in the state will now start using body camera while discharging their duties.
Sanwo-Olu said the move would improve transparency and accountability in the activities of law enforcement agencies, and put the State Government in a better position to respond to security challenges in real-time.
He said the devices would help to put the state government in a better position to respond to security challenges in real-time.
The governor also approved mass training for the state’s law enforcement personnel on the use of the body-worn cameras, ahead of the deployment of the digital tools for security operations across the state.
The three-day training, to begin in May, will be facilitated by the Lagos State Law Enforcement Training Institute (LETI), headed by Falade Oyekan.
After the training, all state-funded law enforcement officers would be mandated to wear body cameras for their operations.
