Indeed, drastic times often call for drastic measures and the government of Adamawa State is fully aware of this.
The beheading of a woman in a hotel situated at Yola, the state’s capital, has prompted the state government to take action.
Now, the government has mandated all hotels in the state to install Close Circuited Television (CCTV) cameras in their rooms.
Installing cameras in rooms to many is an invasion of privacy, but now, with this latest development, security has become paramount.
Security Meeting
The directive was issued at an emergency security meeting with hotel owners in Yola on Monday.
The State Deputy Governor, Kaleptapwa Farauta, gave six weeks to hoteliers to comply with the directives.
She warned that the state government would sanction hoteliers who fail to comply with the directive.
On behalf of hoteliers in the state, the chairman of hoteliers in the state, Samuel Adwata, assured the deputy governor that the group would comply with the directive.
Happy Day
Meanwhile, the Adamawa State Police Command has arrested three individuals linked to the shocking murder of Bilkisu Alhaji Idi.
Bikisu is the woman found beheaded at the Happy Day Quest Inn Hotel in Yola North Local Government Area.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, announced the detention of the suspects.
Those detained are, Offa Jacob and Yifarta Caleb, receptionists at the hotel, and Habibu Isah, a security guard.
