‘invest In Wearable Bomb Detectors’ -FUTA Professor Says by emamos: 6:06pm On Oct 30, 2015
While giving the 72nd inaugural lecture at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Professor Olumide Adewale suggested that the Nigerian government invest in the development of wearable “bomb detection” devices to stem the violence currently wracking northern Nigeria.

Dr. Adewale, who is the Head of Department (HOD) of FUTA’s Computer Science department, noted that these wearable devices could provide security officials with an opportunity to disable a detonation device before it went off.
He explained that the devices “will have a radii of operation and effectiveness such that suicide bombers within the perimeter of any security operative wearing the device, will be detected and the operative alerted either by an alarm signal with the coordinates of the suicide bomber."
The academic has delivered various lectures on the need to strengthen the cooperation between the government, industry, and universities in order to produce Information Communications Technology (ICT) based security measures.
Dr. Adewale has also warned that the insurgency in the north has economic consequences as well. In a recent lecture he pointed to the exit of several foreign investors from Nigeria, caused in large part by the violence in northern Nigeria.
He also lamented the human cost of the Boko Haram insurgency, noting that thousands of innocent people residing in the north have been killed or displaced.
