The Lagos State Police Commissioner, CP Idowu Owohunwa has warned mischief makers to desist from fomenting trouble in the state as he said that anyone found wanting would be severely dealt with in accordance with the law.
He gave this warning following attempts by some miscreants to take advantage of the Central Bank of Nigeria cash policy to unleash violence in some parts of the State.
SP. Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson made this known following the on-the-spot assessment of Mile 12 and other areas of the State where unrest was reported on Friday.
According to the police, CP Owohunwa assured residents and visitors to Lagos State that the Command would leave no stone unturned to prevent breakdown of law and order in the State.
The Police boss said “All law-abiding Lagosians are encouraged to go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation as the Command has resorted normalcy and ensured optimal deployment of human and operational resources towards guaranteeing their continued safety and security.”
Adding that he deeply appreciates the good people of Lagos State for always providing prompt and adequate information to the Police. He encourages more of this as he observes that this partnership and trust have helped the Command in no small measure to curb crime and criminality in the state, and in promptly stabilising the Lagos State security space.
