Abuja’s new Commissioner of Police, CP Ajao Saka Adewale, has vowed to revolutionize security in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by deploying cutting-edge technology, including drones, CCTV cameras, and real-time crime mapping tools.
Speaking during his first official meeting with Area Commanders and tactical teams, CP Adewale revealed his vision for a proactive, intelligence-driven security strategy that will make Abuja safer for residents and businesses alike.
“We are setting up a 24/7 Command and Control Center to ensure swift responses to distress calls. Crime prevention, not just reaction, is our priority,” he said.
Tech-Driven Policing for a Safer FCT
CP Adewale outlined a three-pronged approach to crime fighting:
Intelligence Gathering – Strengthening surveillance through drones and enhanced monitoring networks.
Community Engagement – Partnering with local leaders and residents to foster trust and collaboration.
Inter-Agency Cooperation – Working closely with the military, DSS, and NSCDC for better intelligence sharing.
He assured residents that policing in the FCT under his watch will be transparent, responsive, and people-centered.
CP Adewale, who officially took office on March 26, 2025, brings decades of experience in tackling organized crime, fraud, and urban policing. With his tech-first strategy, Abuja may soon set a new standard for security across Nigeria.
