…reads riot act to mischief makers
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has warned members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to behave responsibly and avoid acts that would throw the peace being enjoyed by Lagosians into the dust bin.
CP Alabi, gave the warning on Monday which was contained in a statement signed by the spokesperson, Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin.
It was learnt that the commissioner met with the major contenders – Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo and Azeez Abiola aka Istijaba – separately in their offices, where he admonished them to prevail on their teeming followers to act within the confines of the law, adding that he is poised to ensure the security currently being enjoyed in Lagos State remains intact.
The statement revealed that anyone person found fomenting trouble anywhere within Lagos State would be promptly apprehended and made to face the law.
“This warning has become imperative following incessant clashes, fracas and malicious damage to property recently experienced in some parts of Lagos State mostly linked to the issues surrounding the management of motor parks within the state.
“In line with this stance, all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and tactical commanders have been directed to deal decisively with anyone found instigating or causing a breach of peace within their respective areas of responsibility (AoR).”
Meanwhile, CP Abiodun Alabi calls on Lagosians to go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation, as all human, material and operational resources have been optimally deployed to ensure their safety and security.
