The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

According to Hundeyin, the joint patrols will cover Kara Bridge to Sagamu Interchange.

He urged motorists not to panic at the sight of increased police patrols on the travel route.
