As part of efforts to sustain the peace currently being enjoyed in Lagos State, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, on Monday, August 9, 2021, held a strategic meeting with his management team, Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Departments and other tactical commanders, to review the security situation.
This was made known in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer in the command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu.
Addressing the officers, Odumosu charged them to always carry out diligent investigation and prosecution of criminal cases, and be more proactive by constantly carrying out intelligence-driven and aggressive raid of identified black spots, with a view to smoking out criminals from their hideouts.
Commending the officers for their untiring commitment towards maintaining law and order, the police commissioner reiterated his determination in providing robust security for the residents, adding that while crime had reduced drastically in the state, there was need for officers and men to continue to be ahead of criminals and other hoodlums who often make lives unbearable for law abiding citizens.
Consequently, the Odumosu directed the creation of additional pin-down points at Ile Zik, Opebi, Monkey Bridge, Odo Iya Alaro and other places, to further strengthen security of the affected areas.
The Commissioner of Police, while also frowning at reckless attitude of motorists and motorcyclists who persistently violate traffic rules and regulations, vowed to instill discipline by arresting offenders in special and continuous operations that would commence in earnest on Wednesday, August 11.
The Command thereby warned such traffic violators, irrespective of their personality, to desist from their penchant for breaking traffic laws in any part of the state.
