Waterways security: Sanwo-Olu commissions new police command

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday commissioned a new Police Command at Ilashe, a riverine community in Amuwo Odofin to boost security across border towns

Sanwo-Olu said the Command is strategically positioned in Ilashe riverine community to improve security on waterways and strengthen the capacity of the police to efficiently combat criminalities in border towns. “I am extremely delighted with the level of progress we have achieved in building and sustaining the security infrastructure in Lagos, given the challenges we face in terms of controlling crimes in inner cities and boundary communities. The Command will now fully commence regular operations that will be targeted at ensuring safety and security on our waterways, while also deploying personnel to dislodge criminals from creeks and riverside communities.

Sanwo-Olu said the state government would be signing a two-year maintenance agreement with a private firm in order to keep the facility durable and clean. Odumosu said the Command would now supervise the operations of Divisional Police Stations in riverine communities of Oriade local council, including Ilashe, Ibeshe, Irede, Irewe/Osolu, Igbologun and Takwa Bay. He said the proximity of the new Command to communities in the area would reduce the time lag of the police response to their security needs.
