The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has parleyed the Inspectors and rank and file cadres of the command on the 25th of November 2020, at the POWA Hall, Oduduwa GRA, Ikeja for a tete-a-tete intended to finetune a way forward on policing in the state.
This was made known to CEOAfrica, in a statement by the Lagos Police Command, and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
The police boss charged the officers to brace up and discharge their duties without fear or favour and sentiments as the laws are explicit on the duties of the police.
He said "We must rise up to the security challenges in the state and continue to contain them appropriately in as much as the Nigeria Police reigns".
The parley was witnessed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Operations, DCP Mohammed Ali, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Department of Finance and Administration, DCP Etim Oqua, ACP Department of Operations, ACP Dotun Odubona, ACP Wale Ajao, second-in-command to Commander Rapid Response Squad, Lagos State and staff officers from the Command Headquarters Ikeja.
The policemen appreciated the Commissioner of Police for his fatherly roles and his efforts to improve their general welfare and safety in order to discharge their duties as required.
They equally promised to ensure the fortification of security across the state, saying they will discharge their duties devoid of corruption, incivility and unprofessional vices.
In another development, the police operatives attached to Alakuko Station, with the help of members of some communities, arrested four (4) suspected armed robbers on 24th November, 2020 at about 12am.
The suspects have been allegedly terrorising residents of AMJE Bus Stop, Ajegunle, Masalasi and Dalemo communities in Alakuko Area of Lagos State and dispossessing them of their belongings.
