“The essence of this intervention is to ensure that our security personnel are properly equipped to respond effectively to emerging threats and maintain public safety across Lagos,” he said.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Lagos State Police Command, Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, expressed appreciation to the LSSTF and the state government for the support.
“We are grateful to the Lagos State Government and the LSSTF for this timely intervention,” he said.
He assured that the gadgets would not be left idle, adding, “These tools will be immediately deployed to strategic Area Commands across the state.”
The Commissioner further stated that the equipment would significantly enhance surveillance capacity and improve the command’s ability to maintain law and order.
“These gadgets will help us raise our surveillance level, improve response capacity, and ensure the safety of lives and property across Lagos State,” he added.
