The Delta State Government has warned business owners and public institutions that failure to install closed-circuit television cameras on their premises could attract prosecution under the state’s law.

The Permanent Secretary and Solicitor-General of the Ministry of Justice, Omamuzo Erebe, said the government would soon move from public sensitisation to enforcing the relevant provisions.

Erebe gave the warning on Thursday during the 2027 budget bilateral discussions involving ministries, departments and agencies, organised by the Ministry of Economic Planning in Asaba.

He urged business operators and heads of public institutions to install CCTV cameras, saying the equipment would improve security and help protect lives and property.

“I want to use this opportunity to advise business owners and public institutions to ensure that they install CCTV cameras on their premises.

“It does not cost as much as people think, and it helps protect society. The law was not enacted just for the sake of having legislation; it is meant to be obeyed.

“Very soon, some people may face prosecution for failing to comply with the relevant provisions,” he said.

Erebe maintained that ignorance of the law would not exempt anyone from compliance, adding that the government was prepared to take action against defaulters.

Reviewing the ministry’s performance in 2026, he said it had recorded progress in defending cases involving the state and reducing unnecessary litigation.
