The Plateau State Police Command issues a public warning against operating drones without the required approvals. The police say individuals and corporate organizations that do not comply risk arrest, confiscation of their equipment, and possible prosecution.
In notices reported by different outlets, the warning is tied to improving security and ensuring proper regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Daily Post Nigeria attributes the notice to a statement made by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Alfred Alabo, while Vanguard reports the warning as a measure to protect critical infrastructure and enforce existing UAV rules. Both sources describe the same core message: drone operators must obtain authorization before flying.
No differences in substance are reported across the outlets regarding the threat of enforcement actions or the purpose of the warning, though outlets differ slightly in how they frame the emphasis—such as security and critical infrastructure versus general regulatory compliance and resident-level caution.
