Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commissioned the Ise Town police station in Ibeju-Lekki of Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of the state.
The governor, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, stated that his administration remains committed to prevent crime and criminality in the state, saying,
Our Lagos is safer and more secure today because of the improved operational capacities of our security agencies. Note that individuals and corporate organisations have made this possible largely through the financial and material donations to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. The effectiveness of this initiative as a strategy to fight and prevent crime has been widely acknowledged through its replication by other subnational governments, and even at the national level.
Therefore, the construction of this Police Station is another fulfilment of our strong commitment to safer and secure clime that will engender confidence of investors considering the fact that this area is within the precinct of Lekki Free Trade Zone, the emerging industrial hub of not only Lagos State but also Nigeria.
He urged the people of the community to fully cooperate and collaborate with them security personnel that would be deployed to the new Police Station to assist and strengthen the security in the environment so as to ensure the full realisation of the objectives behind the construction and equipping of this Police station.
While encouraging the police formation to deploy their best professionals to the station, He promised that his administration would not relent in prioritising the needs and wellbeing of the men and officers of security agencies in Lagos State.
According to him, In furtherance of our commitment, work will commence before the end of this year on the construction of two other Police stations at Elepe in Ikorodu and Lekki. In addition, we will be constructing a modern office facility for Area ‘N’ Police Command Headquarters in Ijede, as well as the reconstruction of Alimosho and Ikeja offices of Department of State Security Services.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also commended the Onise of Ise, His Royal Highness, Oba Ganiu Adegbesan for his firm commitment to the safety and socio-economic development of his people and community as demonstrated by his request for government intervention in providing the Police Station to address the spate of kidnapping and activities of land-grabbers, among other criminal activities within the community and its environs.
Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, who was represented by deputy commissioner of police (operation), Ahmed Kontagora, commended the Lagos government, noting that the new police station would reduce crime among the people of the community and Lekki LCDA at large.
Also speaking, Oba Adegbesan praised Governor Sanwo-Olu for his service to the state.
