…Increase
Patrol On Lagos Roads
The Lagos State Police
Command on Tuesday said it has put strategic measures in place to tackle the
wave of traffic robberies in the State, assuring that the Command would go all
out to ensure a crime free yuletide for Lagosians.
The State’s
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal in a statement, disclosed that over
twenty eight (28) traffic robbery suspects were arrested last Friday and will
soon be charged to court.
Edgal also said that
the Command had increased presence of policemen across the State including the
location of patrol vehicles at strategic traditional points, urging residents
not to panic, but see the development as a move to ensure their safety on the
road at all times.
“The Lagos State Police
Command wishes to announce to members of the public that, they should not be
unduly concerned with the increased presence of policemen across the state,
including the location of patrol vehicles at strategic traditional points.
“These measures are
meant to checkmate the activities of hoodlums and other social vices especially
on routes with traffic snares occasioned by construction works and port
operation issues, especially the Oshodi/Gbagada Expressway, Apapa, Ilupeju,
Mile 2,
Apongbon and other strategic locations within the State,” Edgal said.
He therefore urged
Lagosians to go about their normal business and disregard any unfounded and
mischievous claims of robberies on major highways in the State.
While wishing Lagosians
a crime free Yuletide season, Edgal, however, appealed to members of the public
to partner effectively by giving credible information to the police and report
strange or suspicious movement within their area.
He listed the following
numbers Lagosians can contact during emergencies: 767/112, 08069702133,
08140275108, 08034105847, 08034649615 and 07065246927.
