Tinubu Deploys 5,000 AI CCTV Cameras to Boost Security in Plateau State

On April 2, 2026, President Bola Tinubu announced the deployment of 5,000 AI-powered CCTV cameras across Plateau State. The measure aims to enhance security after a deadly attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North, which left 28 people dead and many injured. During his visit to Jos, the president expressed condolences to the victims’ families. He urged security chiefs to bring the attackers to justice and directed the Communications Minister to oversee a swift installation of the cameras, starting in Jos before expanding statewide. President Tinubu vowed unwavering support for affected families and pledged further steps to prevent future attacks. Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang welcomed the initiative and expressed hope that it will restore stability in the region.

Pairing these CCTV cameras with local community patrols and reliable solar backups could make the system more effective in remote areas.
