From the recent incidents of insecurity around the country, travelling by road is one of the nightmares and a threat to the lives of people that are carrying out business from one place to another. The road network in some areas, especially in the North West region, does not have a balanced possibility to travel on. Despite the effort of our security operatives towards protecting the roads, many people are subjected to terrible experiences by bandits. 

 The solutions to protect the lives and properties of people depend on enhancing security with regards to monitoring the highways. This is because travelling by road is preferred by many because of its low cost. 

As the festive season approaches, more measures have to be taken to secure the roads to save lives and properties.
