The Lagos State Police Command rejects a viral social media advisory
The Lagos State Police Command has refuted a widely
circulated social media advisory suggesting a rise in kidnappings along the
Gbagada Expressway. This clarification was issued in a statement by SP Benjamin
Hundeyin, the command's spokesperson, on Monday. Hundeyin emphasized that the
Lagos State Police Command did not release such a security warning and labeled
the claim as unfounded.
Nevertheless, Hundeyin acknowledged the Command's awareness
of the concerns highlighted in the advisory. As a response, the Commissioner of
Police for the Lagos State Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade, has directed a
comprehensive reassessment of the security strategy across the region. This
initiative involves the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Area Commanders
and aims to prevent potential kidnapping incidents.
Nigeria Updates reports that this enhanced security plan
will undergo continuous evaluation and adjustments to maintain the highest
level of safety for commuters, local residents, and all citizens of Lagos
State. Consequently, CP Fayoade reassures the public, encouraging Lagos
residents to conduct their daily activities confidently and without fear of
disturbance or threat.
In addition, the public is encouraged to stay vigilant and
report any unusual or suspicious activities. They can do so by visiting the
nearest police station or contacting the Lagos State Police Command Control
Room at 08065154338, 08063299264, or 09129229576. The Lagos State Police
Command remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of all
