The Area ‘E’ Police Command in Festac Town, Lagos has received two vehicles to boost their fight against insecurity.
At the Local Government to receive the buses were the Divisional Police officer, Obonj J. Okon and the the Area Commandant ACP Mohammad Dahru.
The vehicles were presented to the Area Commander Mohammad Dahiru, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) by the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government.
ACP Dahiru thanked the council chief for the gesture.
He said the presentation didn’t come as a surprise to the command
“because we already know how security conscious the Chairman is. I must say, Valentine Buraimoh stands out amongst local government chairmen I have had the privilege to work with.”
The police chief added: “Aside from that he ensures we maintain a healthy communication relationship, he also keeps himself abreast with security concerns of the community. Because security is not limited to policing alone, the council chairman has also continued to engage the youths productively; the result is that Amuwo-Odofin has the lowest report of cases of cultism and youthful exuberance.”
Valentine Buraimoh said his administration was committed to saving lives and property.
The buses, Buraimoh said, were to aid security patrol across the council.
He said: “I want to thank the police for doing its best to ensure that Amuwo-Odofin is properly policed. We want you to continue to do more; this is why we are presenting you these mini-buses to help you discharge your duties effectively,” he said.
