Rivers State Acquires 2 Helicopters for 24/7 Surveillance to Check Oil Theft

Rivers State Government has said it has placed orders for two helicopters to beef up security against oil theft in the state.
The state Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, who made the disclosure at a town hall meeting with Rivers community in Abuja, at the weekend, also said the state had plans to pursue a new environmental law that would enhance better waste management and curb pollution arising from illegal oil bunkering.

Amaechi said the two new helicopters would beef up surveillance of oil facilities, as well as combing hideouts of criminal elements in the state.
The bill, he said, would be sent to the House of Assembly and would tackle problems relating to environmental pollution.

“We are putting a law in place that will punish all those who pollute our environment. We have placed orders for two helicopters that will arrive in December. Those helicopters will fly across the entire state 24 hours. They carry cameras that can see criminal activities; the police, the State Security Service (SSS), the army will be monitoring the areas also,” he said. Source
