Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has deployed 300 drones ahead of the Saturday's rerun elections in the state.
It was learnt the super tech UAVs drones designed to fly at
13000ft above sea level with special HD super 4k cameras can spot minute
objects and detect motions from a long distance, are a part of the
governor’s strategies to ensure that the elections are monitored to
avoid rigging and other forms of electoral malpractices.
Lere Olayinka, SA Public Communications & New Media to the
Ekiti State Governor confirmed this on his Facebook page and wrote:
"#RiversRerun Gov Wike deploys 300 DRONES to monitor election and prevent rigging."
The drones which are remotely manned from a central control station
located somewhere in the state capital will return live video streams
to the control stations at real time.
It was gathered that the Wike took this measure in order to stop
any rigging and monitor events live as it is happening in the different
Local Government Areas of the state.
