SANWO-OLU: LAGOS RECORDS LOWEST ROBBERY INCIDENTS IN DECADES ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

fb img 1669402303371637039785263460401 For the third consecutive year, Lagos State has recorded no single case of armed robbery attacks on banks and other financial institutions operating within its boundary. The development hinted a significant improvement in security surveillance and the sustainability of measures adopted in checking organised crimes. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday, shared the progress with stakeholders in the security circle and private sector donors at the 16th Town Hall Meeting on security organised by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) at Civic Centre in Victoria Island. Sanwo-Olu said his administration adopted a technology-driven strategy that enabled the security agencies respond proactively ahead of potential breaches at vulnerable spots, including a web of undercover operations to frustrate armed attacks on possible targets. This, he said, has bolstered the confidence of the financial institutions to freely move their cash around the State with limited risks. The Governor said the collaborative security approach had yielded significant results in crime fighting, leading to a sharp reduction in rate of criminality across Lagos. In the last 12 months, the State recorded only 21 incidents of armed robbery - the lowest rate in the last decades. From last year November till date, the police and combined team of security agencies have foiled 149 armed robbery attempts across communities. Sanwo-Olu said the State had not only boosted the morale of the security personnel with constant training and provision of equipment, but had also raised its capacity to contain emerging threats. He said: “As a Government, our approach to security is holistic and collaborative. Our security policy is driven by the need to engender a wholly secure environment that enables the wellbeing, prosperity and fulfilment of all the residents. We consider no amount of investment too big to be put forward in ensuring the progress we have achieved since inception is sustained. In the last three and a half years, we have continued to maintain the record of zero incident of robbery attack on banks or any other financial institution operating in our State. “LSSTF has been at the forefront of these security efforts. Through the agency, we have continued to provide interventions to the police and other security agencies operating in Lagos in the areas that include operational capacity, training and logistics. Our efforts have yielded encouraging results in crime fighting, as Lagos remains largely safe for business and living. This relative peace and safety that we have been experiencing in this massive mega city will not be compromised. We will continue to strengthen the security operation to ensure the progress recorded is not reversed.” Next week, the Governor said Divisional Police formations will get 25 new pick-up trucks to assist in quick response to security threats in their areas of operation. Sanwo-Olu said the State Government’s intention to employ digital surveillance in combating emerging crimes had started to take shape, given the phased rollout of technology tools, including high-definition cameras to monitor strategic locations across the State. The Governor sent a loud warning to criminals still operating in Lagos to vacate the State before the law caught up with them. He pledged not to spare any effort in making the State unsafe and inhabitable for criminals. Provision of security, Sanwo-Olu said, should not be seen as a one-way process, urging residents to collaborate and provide information to security agencies whenever they notice suspicious activities within their communities. He said: “I am sending a strong and loud message to all purveyors of crime and criminality in Lagos. We will stay ahead of your intentions and actions, and we will fight you with everything we have. There will be no room for actions that undermine our well-being and our capacity to achieve our dreams and aspirations.” The Governor said the LSSTF model adopted by the State in raising security standards had been effective, urging private sector donors to contribute their quota for the sustainability of the Fund. LSSTF Executive Secretary, Dr. Abdur -Razaq Balogun, noted that the constraints necessitating the establishment of the Fund were far from being fully addressed, but said there was no alternative to the resource model in scaling up security response. Since 2019, Balogun said LSSTF had provided 240 units of fully equipped operational vehicles to all security agencies in Lagos, in addition to provision of 230 units of motorbikes and security accessories, including 100 digital walkie-talkie, 167 cellular communication gadgets, 2,000 units of Level 4 bulletproof vests and ballistic helmets, among others. Despite the successes achieved in the year, the LSSTF boss said the Fund had received the lowest public donation to the tune of N153 million, representing 6.3 per cent of public donations received in 2021. Appealing for more funding from the private sector, Balogun said: “The necessity for crime-fighting agencies is continuous, as we must accept that crimes are still with us. As this is an election period, political violence is another clear danger we are facing. There is need to raise the capabilities of our security agencies to contain these threats as we approach general elections.” Reviewing of crime report between November 2021 till date, Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, said Lagos Police Command arrested 146 armed robbers in 149 foiled attempts. In the same year, Lagos recorded 52 cases of cultism-related attack, with 240 suspected cultists arrested and charged. The police chief disclosed that 89 high-grade arms and 376 assorted ammunitions were recovered, while 280 dangerous weapons, including cudgels, were seized from criminals. Alabi said: “In the period under review, Lagos Police Command recorded a remarkable feat in crime fighting when we began checkmating the activities of commercial motorcycle riders, following Mr. Governor’s proscription of Okada in the State. Crimes being committed using motorcycles have reduced. Out of 8,105 Okadas we impounded from last year, 4,815 were seized between June and September 2022.” The Commissioner appreciated the Governor for material and logistic support rendered to the State Police Command, assuring that his men would not rest on their oars towards ensuring peace and safety in Lagos.

For the third consecutive year, Lagos State has recorded no single case of armed robbery attacks on banks and other financial institutions operating within its boundary. The development hinted a significant improvement in security surveillance and the sustainability of measures adopted in

BLDR SESAN DAINI HOSTS SECURITY SUMMIT FOR JTF IN IGBOGBO BAIYEKU, MARKS JTF’S 2ND ANNIVERSARY, TO FACILITATE LIFE INSURANCE FOR OFFICERS ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

3939j3j3nn7773579356618349824 The Executive Chairman of Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, Bldr. Sesan Daini has called on residents in his Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to support the thorough progress of local security agencies. Imploring dwellers to invariably say something whenever they see any foul around their vicinity, Bldr. Daini illustrated that it takes effective teamwork between law enforcement and inhabitants to bring maximum peace to every neighbourhood. Squarely focus on combatting crimes, the statement was made by the council boss as Igbogbo/Bayieku LCDA hosted its 2022 Security Summit and 2nd Anniversary of Joint Task Force (JTF) at Oba Adeboruwa Palace on the 24th of November 2022. Graced by eminent personalities from across the town, including royal fathers, school students/administrators, CDC chairman & excos, Corporate bodies, LASACO officials etc, the program intimated community stakeholders and residents alike on the modus operandi of the safety outfit in toiling to make community guarding favourable for the police. The chairman started by acknowledging the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, Oba Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, for his support in making the security unit a reality. According to Bldr. Daini, in a bid to aid effective operations by the JTF since its establishment two years ago, the council has ensured that allowances of all enlisted safety personnel are paid to date. "Salaries for JTF personnel have also seen a 50% increase to enable the outfit to intensify their performance without compromising their function of providing peace and tranquillity to the neighbourhoods" He explained. "Members of the Joint Task Force (JTF) have also completed a one-week training on Local Intelligence in Promoting community policing held at Police College in Ikeja, Lagos State". "They will be receiving their certificate of participation today" Daini asserted. The one-of-a-kind Security Summit presided over by HRM, Oba Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, also received Lagos paramount monarchs; Oniba Ekun of Iba Land, Oba Sulaimon Adeshina Raji-Aside, Alakesan of Akesan Land, and Oba Nojeem Abidemi Ogunjobi. Furthermore, the council chief, stated that the council is facilitating a Life Insurance program for all JTF officers to cater to their families in cases of unfortunate casualties. Daini explains, "It has not been an easy ride for us, even though the essence of this outfit has been justified, felt and adopted from all corners". "During the space of two years in operation, we've lost a member of this outfit in the line of duty. But the council has endeavour to cater for the family in every ramification". "Subsequently, in cases of unfortunate incidents of such, the council is now spurred to initiate a Life Insurance plan for all officers in the task force through LASACO Assurance company". (LASACO Assurance PLC provides life and general insurance services, which include; motor, bond, contractors-all-risk, fire, burglary, aviation, marine, general accident, life, pension schemes, engineering, and oil and gas). "The provision of Life Insurance will keep the minds of family members of the officers at ease". Daini later noted that the council is also working to present a bye-law by January 2023" Daini noted. Shifting his attention to schools in attendance, the council chief urged pupils and school administrators alike to see the local security outfit as a tool to foster stability in the community. Urging students to say something whenever they see anything wrong around them, Daini emphasized the council's plan to enhance education through its Igbogbopedia initiative. "As we work to curb crimes, we're also working to uplift brilliant students in Igbogbo Baiyeku, which will enable other pupils to take their books seriously. Igbogbopedia is a spelling competition for school students which broadens their intellectual scope". "The year 2022 winner has been billed for an all-expense paid trip to South Africa with me for an educational tour across different sophisticated institutions" "We're doing this to keep our children focus in school and avoid negative influences. We expect them to stay away from bad friends, who try to lure them into cultism and other forms of social vices" Daini added. CSP Balogun Aderemi, DPO Ikorodu (barracks) police station along Igbogbo road commended the efforts made by Bldr. Daini to secure the lives and property of residents, explaining that with the level of security consciousness displayed by the council boss, Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA will witness more serenity. According to CSP Aderemi, A lot of areas that used to be on red alert due to crimes and chaos orchestrated by restless souls have now seen calm due to the stationing of the security units across different domains of the community. "I must commend the strength of Daini towards security in Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, everything he's doing for security is making the work of the police force easier, and that's how it's supposed to be". "Establishing the JTF to assist police at the grassroots and sustaining them to stay on the course has resulted in the relative peace we're beholding in the town presently". He urged the chairman to proceed in enhancing his security platform more as a tool to attract development to the LCDA. The well-received and applauded event also featured a marching parade by the security agency plus the presentation of training certificates to 53 trained personnel.

INSECURITY: IGP ACQUIRES, DEPLOYS 3 ASISGUARD SONGAR ARMED DRONES TO STRATEGIC LOCATIONS, ORDERS TOTAL CLAMP DOWN ON NON STATE ACTORS, CRIMINALS ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

000000222222161771213764749302 The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba psc(+), NPM, NEAPS, FDC, CFR, has acquired three (3) high-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for improved armed surveillance operations to checkmate criminal activities in the country as a further manifestation of the IGP's determination to integrate the use of innovative technology in the law enforcement duties of the Nigeria Police Force. The newly acquired drones will surely assist the Police in monitoring active crime scenes, coordinating response operations, and providing armed aerial support to officers on reconnaissance operations. The 3 newly acquired UAVs are rotary-wing aircraft capable of flying up to an altitude of 1000ft with high operational endurance and the capacity of firing at acquired threats and targets from reasonable distances. The Nigeria Police Airwing has equally concluded training for the operators of the drones in partnership with foreign experts who have been consulted for training and maintenance of the drones. The IGP has directed the immediate, and strategic deployment of these drones based on necessity while noting that three (3) more UAVs of the same specifications are still expected in the shortest possible time. The IGP while reiterating the constant deployment and judicious use of the drones, ordered a total clamp down on non-state actors and criminals in Nigeria, and similarly warned criminal elements across the country to steer clear and turn a new leaf else the environment would not conducive to them, and they may meet their waterloo soonest. The Inspector-General of Police has further re-emphasized the firm determination of his administration to continue to explore the use of technology in the fight against crime and criminality while seeking full cooperation from members of the public on intelligence gathering and vigilance.
