Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday vowed that the State Government would deploy its entire arsenal to ensure that militants and vandals threatening the peace are flushed out of the State once and for all....
The Governor who spoke when he received the Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr. Idris Kpotun Ibrahim, who was on a courtesy visit to the Lagos House, Ikeja, said that the recent military onslaught in the areas where such criminal elements have been hibernating was yielding positive result, assuring that all efforts would be made to sustain the success recorded so far.
It would be recalled that in the last one week, a joint onslaught by the Nigeria Army, the Police and other security agencies was carried out some communities within the boundary of Lagos and Ogun State against militants and oil thieves who had been causing civil disturbances in recent times.
While thanking the Acting IGP for finding time to visit Lagos since his appointment, Governor Ambode appealed for more police presence in the State to secure the lives and property of the over 22 million population in the State.
Governor Ambode specifically requested for more police patrol of the waterways, assuring that his administration would play its own part by ensuring the welfare of officers in the line of duty is assured.Earlier, the IGP who said he was in Lagos to visit some Police formations in the State commended the State Government’s support and cooperation to the Police and other security agencies in recent time, saying that the synergy between security agencies and the Lagos State Government was worth emulating.
He also commended the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), saying that it was a model that other states of the federation can take a cue from.
