The Commissioner of Police (CP), Lagos State, Imohimi Edgal, has been given an award as “The most outstanding anti crime police chief in West Africa.”

The award ceremony,recently held in Accra, Ghana was organized by the African Security Summit also known as Security watch Africa.

The CP was nominated for the award after a careful selection process by a board who considered him the “most qualified for the award when compared with his contemporaries in the West African sub-region, especially for his uncanny ability to strategize, prevent and resolve all manner of crimes and criminality,” according to a statement.

Edgal said he believes the award is a call to work harder for the benefit of society, “although the award did not come as a surprise to many who knew the antecedent of the crime Czar and those who had been following the activities of the Commissioner of Police in recent times,” noted the statement.

The Commissioner of Police in his acceptance speech, expressed his gratitude to the organizers of the award and vowed to do his best to ensure a more secured Lagos and indeed Nigeria “where citizens can go about their lawful business without let or hindrance.”
