The Federal Government orders the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras on the First Niger Bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State, as part of efforts to address vandalism and theft on the bridge.
According to reports, the move comes after incidents in which vital bridge components are damaged or stolen. The Punch also says the government plans to install CCTV alongside solar streetlights, linking the measures to improving monitoring and reducing opportunities for theft. Vanguard similarly reports that the government directs CCTV installation following reports of vandalism and stolen components.
While both outlets focus on the security response and the target of the First Niger Bridge, The Punch adds details about the inclusion of solar streetlights, whereas Vanguard emphasizes CCTV as the primary directive. Both portray the action as an immediate effort by federal authorities to secure the bridge infrastructure.
