But residents should not panic when they see it, because it is just to ensure their safety. They should come out en masse and exercise their civic rights. The jet is to support our efforts at ensuring the safety of everybody. The military jet will do the job of surveillance better than the helicopter and we should feel comfortable with better equipment in use.” Adamu added that the use of the jet is “faster, more precise and will aid response time” to security challenges on the field.
