While taking over from Hakeem Odumosu at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, the new CP also pledged to strengthen the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) to respond promptly and effectively to citizens’ concerns.

He emphasised that his reign would ensure respect for fundamental human rights by ensuring that no breach is tolerated under his watch.

On criticism from the public, he said: “I will not be allergic to constructive criticism, but will see it as an information to rejig our security architecture. Therefore, I will encourage collaboration with the fourth estate of the realm and appeal that issues concerning our policing are brought to my knowledge promptly.”
