The Lagos state Rapid Response Squad in a statement released this week, narrated how it used the drones available to them in recovering an SUV belonging to Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu. One of his staff was driving the car when it was snatched..Read the story after the cut...
On Sunday night, the car of Mr. Michael Effiong, an Editor of the Ovation Magazine, with special number plate "Ovation 3", was snatched at gun point in Maryland. Immediately, he reported to the RRS Commander, who in turn, sent radio signal to all Divisional Police Stations across Lagos state to track down the vehicle.
For Mr. Effiong, the car has gone forever. But for the RRS Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Olatunji Disu, it was a task that must be accomplished.
Immediately, the Commander deployed the RRS drones and the use of GPS tracker. Eventually, the stolen vehicle was discovered where it was parked around an hotel. He led the operation to the scene of the stolen vehicle with the help of the contemporary information technology deployed to track down the jeep. The jeep was recovered beside a popular hotel, Kalesco Garden Hotel, Badagry.
The joy of Mr. Effiong knows no bound when he was handed over his vehicle that was stolen back to him. He praised the Lagos State Police for their doggedness in recovering the vehicle.
THANK GOD
ReplyDeleteAll this lies LSG is sharing...so out everyone in Lagos, it happens to be dele momodu's car that was stolen immediately after d drone was launched? Ahn ahn..they must think we are too naive and gullible to put such for us to swallow!
ReplyDeleteGood job. I hope the drone helps enhance security and welfare of all inhabitants of the state
ReplyDeleteTechnology in action
ReplyDeletewe want to hear testimony from ordinary Nigerians on the street. you need to have a voice and connection before you can get help this days in Lagos
ReplyDeleteI concor...
DeleteWords taken right outta my mind.
DeleteStory o!
ReplyDeleteEnd time upgradin ooo
ReplyDeleteDis is quite impressive
ReplyDeletewhy wont they recover the car when its for a rich man? Abeg make dey look bush
ReplyDeleteDrones? That's commendable!
ReplyDeleteOk! Next
ReplyDeleteShould I believe this?
ReplyDeleteDele Momodu is a well known personality. If it was a regular person, wld they use the drones to help recover their vehicle? The police and RRS are just for the well to do not for the regular lagosians.
ReplyDeleteThat's very good.
ReplyDelete⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
Gud one,we re going somewhere
ReplyDeleteNice one, but the drone did the job not them, they wouldnt av noticed if not with the aid of the drone.... Nice one
ReplyDeletelolss hqhqq publicity stunt
ReplyDeleteSo it's only influential people's car they can find...whats up with taking calls when a petty robbery is going on huh!!??
ReplyDeletehahaahahah publicity stunt
ReplyDeletehahaahahah publicity stunt
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS BECOS A POPULAR PERSON WAS INVOLVE IN D STORY "OVATION 3". LETS HEAR ANOTHER STORY FROM A COMMON CITIZEN .
ReplyDeleteWow dats nice
ReplyDeletecock and bull
ReplyDeleteThe story did not include any arrest .And its a cause to worry..A more intelligent officers,having spotted the car would have lay siege and possibly make some arrest.Each arrest and conviction reduces crime rate by one.At least.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will love to hear ,a stolen car of not-too-popular-Nigerian also recovered at that record speed.
All the same Kudos.
I think I solely agreed with you, and that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the story. If they are truly intelligent, why can't they lay siege and make some arrest? Abeg, to me all this na sham. Nigeria still stagnant.
DeleteNa dele own dey go search sharp sharp..anyways do something about d robberies
ReplyDeleteWhen it's a public figure's car they use the drone, but when it's civilian time, either the drone is not available or not charged
ReplyDeleteoh boi! these RRS ppl they shoot o! see missiles. #salute!
ReplyDeleteYet Chibok girls are stil missing...
ReplyDeletelol, yeah doggedness cos it involves rich people. i wonder what would've happened if the vehicle belonged to a "not too rich" individual, would the police have invested their time & resources in helping out? i don't think so..
ReplyDeleteD story was cool until I noticed dat nothing was mention abt. Those dat stole d car.
ReplyDeleteComment frm ROYAL PRIESTHOOD (royalpriesthood007@gmail.com)
Would they have responded if he were an ordinary citizen.useless ppl,cars are stolen everyday, and nothing is being done
ReplyDeleteHmmm.Its a gud start to a better Nigeria..
ReplyDeleteDey should also recover dat of commoners no be only celebrity own dem go dey recover. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteNice one... I hope they help Ordinary Nigerians too in this kind of Situation.
ReplyDeleteDey should also recover dat of commoners no be only celebrity own dem go dey recover. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteAbegi make I hear word. Do it for 'ordinary' citizens not for publicity. The guy who was left to die nko? The police couldn't transport him in their new shiny vehicle and even when a civil citizen got him to the hospital, they couldn't use their authority to demand that he be attended to. When una start to dey work, EVERYBODY go know, no need for publicity.
ReplyDeletePoorly written statement, but great job.
ReplyDeleteAnd the armed robbers? Still incompetent, famzing themselveS
ReplyDeletemtcheeeeew
ReplyDeletemtcheeeeew
ReplyDeleteOh very good
ReplyDeleteOh very good
ReplyDeleteWaoh! This is marvellous and great. This is a big plus for RRS and most especially the doggedness of its commander, ACP Olatunji Disu for bringing new system to the force in the state. Bravo Commander!
ReplyDeleteNice work. (Linda's finest)
ReplyDeletehmm lets assume Gov. Ambode is working. car was recovered what of the armed robber that stole the car was he arrested?
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Nice one, nd kudos to RRS.
ReplyDeleteOf course its a rich man's car so they will spring into action. If Na poor man nothing for am.
ReplyDeletehey linda dont you read your stories before you put them on your blog? what is dele momodu got to do with the headline?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly......from Dele Momodu to Mr. Michael Effiong.....smh
DeleteThis sounds like a paid advert on Linda's blog.so because it Dele momodu's car it was found.Yet d same drone wasn't used to prevent or stop traffic robbery.
ReplyDeleteLol Lindiway hope they paid for this advert, that looked like a football commentary.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Na you talk better; liesssssss
Delete#thathappysister
Kudos to them.
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval.
Ok
ReplyDelete#emdossupernova
Mtsheww utter rubbish.
ReplyDeleteWon't an suv have a tracker? Is that what government property is for to retrieve private individuals Property?
Can you count how many cars have been stolen this week Alone? Please don't get me upset.
But yet we have not found our missing girls!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe tracking device installed by Ovation helped with the recovery not your drone. Abi would you have been flying the drone aimlessly around the streets of Lagos? You had a location thanks to the tracker and you used your drone to check out the environment before swooping in.
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteGood work. Hope they keep it up
ReplyDeleteHMMMM DRONES NIJA RELOADED LETS SEE HOW FAR WE CAN GO WITH IT
ReplyDeleteSo RRS have drones and the commoners have been loosing their cars to armed robbers since...without anyone trying to track them down. Good to know they are there to serve only the rich and the "connected" *hiss*
ReplyDeletewhat a shabby advert. more like an old nollywood movie. surely lagos govt can do better.
ReplyDeletePraise God!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time our police is doing something wonderful.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
'An hotel'??? Did the police go to school? Anyway thank God the vehicle was recovered
ReplyDeleteWe thank God for that
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...bcos na dele momodu suv,, mtcheww
ReplyDelete~make I go take one bottle of beer~
Who do these Police people think they are fooling? My goodness! This is a poorly written script they are attempting to play out. You tell us he was driving at night when the car was stolen. Yet, the drone picture is clearly HOT AFTERNOON. You guys can do better please. There are criminals waiting to be caught. I don't know how you'll do this in fancy new cars. You need pick up trucks and not those FORDS and Toyotas.....And they say there's no money.
ReplyDeleteOkay..good to know
ReplyDeleteIF NA POOR MAN NOW, THEM NO GO RESPOND FAST OOO. ALL THE SAME KODUS TO THEM.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news Linda my crush, hopefully it wont be only for the rich and famous. Kudos to the NPF and Lagos Command... Double your hustle
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...na 2 day
ReplyDeleteGood Job. What type of information would they need to help anyone who finds himself or herself in such a predicament
ReplyDeleteDele Momodu, Tinubu, and the other rich people are who the police protect while they oppress the masses and allow traffic robberies to become the norm...we are watching.
ReplyDeleteSo we get drone..if na one mekunu car now dem no go use drone o..mtcheww yeye dey smell
ReplyDeleteWhile average Nigerians are ignored without any action or efforts from Police.
ReplyDeleteGood job. But would they have same if the car belonged to an ordinary Nigerian with no connect?
ReplyDeleteWaste of resources
ReplyDelete~D great anonymous!
Don't worry the criminals don't bother with nitwits. You don't even have a decent pair of shoes
DeleteWow! Gud job, congratulations that's what we are suppose to say, right? so we re suppose to clap 4 him d RRS commander 4 doing his job, d same way we pray 4 power,good roads,water when we pay our bills,when we pay tax. If d SUV wasn't Dele's Momodu's plate number Oviation 3 (as in chanel numba3) Lol! Wud dey av sent drones, wud he himself lead d operation. Abeg linda can d RRS commander mk his number known to every1 so we call him to report any case of theft etc. So he can lead the operations.... Mumu country
ReplyDeletethis statement is terribly "INCONCLUSIVE"..... It sounds like a drill to me, why must it be dele? and would same treatment be given to ordinary citizens??? was any arrest made?? who steals a car at gun point in nigeria and parks it by a hotel?? naija is a big joke!!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, all this your propaganda news...
ReplyDelete#Story4dgods..... why making a fuss about diz,is it bcos d car belongs to a celebrity???? Until d police starts protecting the common man/doing d needful,all this talk is "garbage" to me! #EOD
ReplyDeleteThat's good
ReplyDeleteBecause na known personality...abeggiiiiiii....next!...THE BLUNT BEING
ReplyDeleteGood to know
ReplyDeleteWow im so impressed . Kudos wit d technology advancement in nigeria
ReplyDeletethe police need to be intelligent the would have kept the vehicle under observation and then arrest the thieves when they come back for it!!!
ReplyDeleteIs dat so? naija police welldone

ReplyDeletenija police in action... I laff. y don't they use the drone to monitor black spots where innocent Nigerians are robbed daily in traffic. please spare me d sentiment.
ReplyDeleteFor tose making asinine comments, did yo read that the vehicle has GPS tracker??? It is only foolish car snatcher that would steal any of these recent cars. They are IT complant intelligent cars that can be driven with eyes close.
ReplyDeleteOBVIOUSLY , ITS BECAUSE IT'S A KNOWN PERSONALTY'S CAR.
ReplyDeleteIt's cos its Dele Momodu's , if its another ordinary citizen's would they have found it (with nanobotics) ?
ReplyDeleteIt's cos its Dele Momodu's , if its another ordinary citizen's would they have found it (with nanobotics) ?
ReplyDeletePlease use your drones for people that were kidnapped and commoners. Dele monody could have gotten a new SUV easily.
ReplyDeleteAkuko uwa
ReplyDeleteMany a time RRS have recovered many vehicles which belong to ordinary Nigerians. This is not aa matter of celebrity. If you know the Commander very well you will know that he's a capable man in all cases. Rich or popularity has nothing to play here. Yeah, the SUV tracker installed inside the car but mind you, without another tracker it can't be located. RRS used their tracker on the land while drone on air to complement each other which led to its recovery.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a publicity stunt from Ambode (MR GO SLOW) Lagosians are dam too smart for all this media hypes ,he should hit the ground running and deal with the high crime rate in Lagos if he wants a second time . Meanwhile ,in the spirit of APC anti corruption drive ,Ambode should show us proof the tender documents of the recently acquired equipment for the police ,which company won the bid,how transparent was the process. Nigerian journalist are lazy and often compromised otherwise issues like this should interest them ,not the story about the cars and ammunition ,some of us are smarter than all this bare face journalism. RSS are doing there job,simple
ReplyDeleteNa tracker do the work,not drone or RSS or Ambode, this una wayo no jell ,some us get small brain ,why not deploy the drones to fight Boko Haram ,yeye de smell
ReplyDeletei give Ambode three months ,he will wep like a baby when he sees those newly acquired police cars,saw some in my area around a beer parlor ,this police rats will so wreck this cars that u will regret buying them even though u have kept the 10 percent of the contact sum ,we know how e be. The fact of the matter is the tracker in the car gave the police a clue to the exact location of the car,it's not a big deal ,leave story
ReplyDeleteLinda ,i challenge you,Sahara Reporters ,Premium Times ,cable news ,Punch and co do a forensic on the recently acquired security equipment for the police by the Lagos State Government . To start with ask the following questions ,which company won the bid process ,who owns the company ,how many companies bid for the contact and at what cost ,also,find out the state of the cars ,drones ,arms ,armored tanks etc,are they brand new ? I dare the compromised Nigerian media to do such job. I dare u to also publish this
ReplyDeleteEwu drone,text this RRS skill with Boko then come back and make some noise ,give me one bottle make i hear word
ReplyDeleteLinda vex publish my message ,kudos ,this should be the spirit ,tell the RRS guys not to celebrate over this small feat ,my IT boys can tell u what Ambode is doing right now ,we have the technology ,no biggie,na tracker ,drone bawo
ReplyDeleteSorry Linda, I am not this gullible!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteQuite unfortunate,such a trivial issue blown out of proportion. Linda Ikeji should have a rethink on what is placed on her blog for public consumption amidst bigger economic headaches...
ReplyDeleteThank God
ReplyDeletePls we should try n commend the great work d RRS are doing and stop dis negative comments.
