A former Commander of Operation Safe Heaven, Gen. Anthony Atolagbe (Retd.), has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari Federal Government to deploy advanced technology, if it is serious about the 2023 Presidential election not getting rigged, as well as ending the lingering insecurity in the country, learnt.
He made the suggestion when he featured on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, on Friday.
General Atolagbe said exactly: “If wishes were horses, I have been to a lot of places and I can tell you how things could have gotten better. For instance, if we have satellites that have earth observation capabilities, this can capture even car number plates.
“In a situation where someone commits a traffic offense, it is easy. So, it is so powerful that areas can be easily captured, but these are not things that can be done overnight. We really need to find a way to key into some of these things, so that subsequently things can improve.
“What else can be deployed? There are what we call vehicle and cargo inspection systems that are used if you go to the border between US (United States of America) and Mexico; we do not have some of these facilities, because these are force multipliers in the sense that they reduce the effort that you put in using manpower.”
