….warns troublemakers
The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Police Command, CP Frank Mba, has commended the residents of the state for their resilience and peaceful conduct in the face of the biting challenges resulting from the new Naira policy and paucity of fuel supply in the state.
The CP made the commendation during a confidence-building patrol conducted by the police and other security forces in the state on Saturday, February 18, 2023.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, this was targeted at assuring residents of the resolve of the command to protect lives and property, prevent the breakdown of law and order, and improve public safety and security.
The CP further noted that the intelligence at the disposal of the command “indicates that some criminal elements are planning to take advantage of the challenging economic situation to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the state.”
He, therefore, warned that the police will not fold its arms and allow persons with criminal intentions, to hide under any guise whatsoever, to unleash mayhem on residents, private and public property, and critical national infrastructure, including banks and offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The CP assured that the necessary security architecture has been put in place to protect the peace-loving people of the state.
He stated that the Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers have been directed to arrest and bring to book any person or group wanting to foment trouble and cause a breach of peace in the state.
