The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, has said the command has intensified deployments to schools, worship centres and other public places to prevent security breaches.

Jimoh gave the assurance on Monday at the command headquarters, Ikeja, while addressing newsmen.

He assured residents that the state remained safe, adding that the new development would be carried out throughout the ember month into the New Year.

He said, “We want the general public to know that Lagos is safe and secure. We have made additional deployments to all schools, places of worship, religious centres and other locations frequently visited by people to ensure all worshippers are safe. This will continue into the New Year and beyond to ensure the safety of all Lagosians and other Nigerians coming into the state. We don’t have any concern to be worried about; we are beefing up security throughout the state.”

Jimoh added that efforts were ongoing to increase the police tactical squad across the local councils in the state.

The development comes amid cases of security breaches in some parts of the country, leading to a series of abductions recorded recently in Kwara, Kebbi and Niger states.
