Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Hakeem Odumosu, has injected new policing ideas and strategies into the security system of the state, with the determination of the command to continually tackle crimes and criminality in the state, especially armed robbery, robbery in traffic, stealing from persons, “One Chance” and cultism.

To achieve this, the Commissioner of Police recently established ICT/Tracking Unit at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba-Lagos, to adopt scientific and forensic measures of unravelling crimes and criminality in Lagos State.

Making this known in a statement on Friday, June 25, 2021, the command’s police spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said that the unit, named D23, headed by SP Kasumu Rilwan, who is a computer scientist, had been instrumental to the landmark achievements and many feats recorded by the command under the watch of CP Odumosu.

The PPRO said that one of the achievements included the latest arrest of the prime suspect, 21-year-old Chidimma Adaora Ojukwu, on June 23, in the alleged murder of Mr Michael Usifo Ataga.

He stated further that the Commissioner of Police recently created two squads, the Special Squad and the Strike Team, at the Command headquarters, Ikeja, to complement the existing department and units of the command, in combating crimes in the state.

According to him, the new Squads had played many roles in suppressing and keeping criminals and hoodlums at bay in the state.

In addition, the PPRO said that in the last three months, the police commissioner had organised combat training, musketry, baton and rifle exercise, martial arts and range practice for officers and men of the command, across board, with a view to improving on their capabilities, command’s anti crime strategies and services delivery, in line with the 12-point agenda of the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.

Also, the formation of anti-traffic robbery squad and the strategic deployment of the newly-delivered equipment by the state government to the Command, had been a spirited effort to rejig the command’s action plans in tackling insecurity, especially robbery in traffic, gangsterism and hooliganism, and taking charge of the public space towards effective policing of the state.

Odumosu spoke on the arrest of two suspected armed robbers at Zone C1, Gberigbe, Imota, Ikorodu, on June 22, at about 1am., while appraising the anti-crime strategies of the command.

Thenewsbearer learnt that the policemen attached to Imota Division of the Command had responded to a distress call from residents of Zone C1, Gberigbe, Ikorodu, that some armed robbers invaded their community and attacked some residents, before two of them were arrested while others fled.

The PPRO gave the names of the suspects as Abdulfatai Abiola (21) and Quadri Adeniyi, (19), both of no fixed address, from Mushin Oloosa.

Items recovered from them included a cutlass, 43-inch plasma TV, an Itel phone, a Huawei phone and assorted charms.

Also, police operatives attached to Ojo Division of the command, in conjunction with volunteers from Alaba Rago Market, Ojo, on June 23, at about 8am, arrested two suspected armed robbers, identified as Usman Musa, aged 22, and Lasibi Jubril, 21, all of Alaba Rago Market, Ojo.

They were arrested at Iyana Iba area while robbing one Alli Ibrahim of Ara Junction, Egbeda.

CSP Adejobi stated further that the items stolen from Ibrahim were recovered from the suspected armed robbers, including a Vivo Phone, an Infinix Hot 9 Phone and a Bluetooth.

“The suspects were caught in the act and have also made confessional statement to that effect.

“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, while reassuring Lagos residents of consistency in the fight against crimes and social vices in Lagos, ordered that the suspects be transferred to the Command’s Special Squad for thorough investigation and possible prosecution,” the PPRO said.

He added that Odumosu further directed that the fleeing members of the gangs be arrested by all means and be brought to book accordingly.

The police commissioner however appealed to the general public to always intimate the Command of any act of lawlessness and criminality in any part of the state, as all hands must be on deck to collectively police the state.
