Nigerian Police To Restructure Security Architecture On Lagos – Ibadan Expressway

Consequent upon the briefs on the security situation regarding the Lagos –Ibadan Expressway from the Commissioners of Police in charge of Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo State Commands, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered an immediate restructuring of the security architecture on the expressway with adequate deployment of officers and assets to ensure the protection of lives and property along the road’s length and forestall kidnappings and other ugly incidents thereon.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Force Pubic Relations Officer (PRO), CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi and made available to Neptune Prime.

The IGP similarly emphasised that the Police authority was not insensitive to the prevailing security challenges on the expressway, but has rather been engaged with charting a path towards decimating the security issue and strategically eliminating the threats along the expressway, hence the on-the-spot assessment of the black spots along the way by the CPs of Ogun and Oyo States at the instance of the IGP for enhanced security and safety.

The Inspector-General of Police therefore pledged adequate operational support in form of technology-based and tactical operational assets for the commissioners of Police in charge of Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo, and heads of tactical operational units in the area to combat the current trend of crimes and criminality on the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.

In the same vein, the Inspector-General of Police has called on well-meaning Nigerians, particularly road users, hunters, community leaders, and other stakeholders who ply the route to constantly expose known criminals who terrorise innocent Nigerians along the route and within adjoining communities to the Police and other security agencies for immediate arrest and prosecution.
