Edgal Imohimi, the Commissioner of Police Lagos State
Kidnappers and other criminals in Lagos State were on Tuesday issued a warning by the state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, to leave the state or face the power of the force.
Edgal gave the warning at the official commissioning of a police division at Ikosi – Ejirin village in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
He stated that the police was bringing the station to tighten the security around Ikosi- Ketu and its environs and to also tackle the security problem headlong.
“We were able to upgrade the police post to a full police station because of the community police partnership with the residents of Ikosi Ketu.
“I know that the residents would not partner with the police if we are not upright in our doings. Crime is reducing in the state because of community/police partnership.
“As the police station has been upgraded, we are going to bring logistics and more policemen will be deployed for effective policing of the whole area,” he said.
Edgal urged residents to continue to partner the police, since policemen cannot know the terrain more than the real owners of the community.
