The gadget, according to Limbe Police Station Officer-In-charge Edwin Mnkhambo, will assist in video surveillance for crime prevention within the station’s jurisdiction.
“I would like to thank Illovo Sugar Malawi for their generous donation of the NVD. This NVD will play a crucial role in the operations of our Joint Operations Centre, where all CCTV cameras installed in Limbe Town are monitored,” said Mnkhambo
