In the face of  lingering insecurity in Nigeria, an indigenous security solution provider, the Perceival Security and Safety Agency has partnered a Chinese security giant, China Security Technology Group (CSTG) to help bolster government’s efforts at nipping the hydra-headed monster in the bud.

The collaboration which birthed in Abuja at an elaborate launch ceremony on Thursday is a private initiative at providing latest technology to quell the evolving criminality in the country.

Speaking at the event, the Group Managing Director of PSSA, Prince Biodun Soyele said because the criminals are devising means to beat security agent, it has become necessary to rise to the occasion to counter such moves in order to ensure lasting peace in the country.

“Without technology, there is little we can do because the criminals today use technology to outsmart the relevant security agents. So,  at the disposal of the government, the resources are limited. Hence we feel that collaborating with foreign partner like CSTG  that is high in technology is step in the right direction  if everything is going to be better.

“Today, we have such technology as missiles, and things that can predict the movement of enemies or criminals. With this backing of  our security operatives, we can say we are good to go.

“We need this kind of technology because the era of using batons is outdated. We need other things that can assist to make the enemy or criminal know that the person guarding a particular place is well equipped.

“The people we are collaborating with are experts in marine security and with them coming in, the nation is better for it.

On combating crime at sea, Soyele maintained that the employment of modern equipment would help to decimate pirates and sea robbers, saying it will help to minimize the water crime.

“With the use of these modern equipment, the issue of piracy, sea robbery on Nigerian territorial waters will be drastically minimised if not eradicated.

“However, the issue of insecurity on Waterways will be a thing of the past with gradual implementation of the technologies we are bringing into Nigeria with this collaboration with CSTG” he declared.
