France, currently host to football tournament, Euro 2016, has launched a new smartphone app to alert users to possible terror attacks. There are growing security concerns over the tournament.
The application will send users a warning “in case of a suspected attack” and also notify them about 'unexpected defences' like breaching of flood defences. The app is free to download in both French and English and is spearheaded by the French interior ministry.
Nigeria should have this type of app. Maybe some tech guru or whizkid should think about developing something like this. It would be nice to know if there has been a Boko Haram attack or a herdsmen attack or a strike by the Niger Delta Avengers.
The app will alert users on terror attacks less than 15 minutes after the incident has been confirmed by authorities.
