The Lagos State Police
Commissioner; Hakeem Odumosu is not taking anything relating to security for granted as he played host to the outgoing and the new Commnaders of the 9 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Ikeja, Brig. Gen. Sale Kawugana and Brig. General ML Saraso respectively at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja-Lagos on Tuesday.
The outgoing Commander, during the visit and short meeting, presented the new Commander, Brig. Gen ML Saraso, to the Commissioner of Police and the management team of the Lagos State Police Command as a practice in the system so as to sustain the already established synergy and working relationship between the Police Command and the Nigerian Army in the state.
The two generals applauded the efforts of the police boss, towards having improved security mechanism in the state and thriving hard to embrace all security agencies in the state for quality service delivery.
In his response, Odumosun appreciated the duo for creating time to visit and discuss security of the state with him in his office. He commended the outgoing Commander, Brig Gen Sale Kawugana, for his calmness and acts of professionalism he displayed within his short time in the Brigade.
The Commissioner then promised to consistently relate and work with all the security agencies in the state to combact crimes and criminality in all ramifications.
He also emphasised the need for all security agencies, particularly the Police and the Armed Forces in the state to supervise their rank and files and soldiers with a view to curbing some of their overzealous and unprofessional acts while discharging their duties or relating with members of the public; that such will alleviate rifts between the agencies and the public and save the security agents from extra judicial acts.
In the same vein, the Commissioner of Police, received the Zonal Director of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA 2, Network Centre, Lagos, Mr Ahmed Lawal, in his office on Tuesday.
The Commissioner of Police and the Zonal Director discussed extensively on the security of the state and the need to collaborate on information management and enlightenment programmes to promote the concept of Community Policing in Lagos State.
The Police boss siezed the opportunity to reinstate his commitment to eradicating cultism and other social vices, especially traffic robbery, in the state as the officers and men of the command have been directed to discharge their duties and enforce every law in Lagos State professionally as expected.
