By Raheem Ibrahim
The Commissioner of Police (CP), Lagos State Command, Mr. Moshood Olohundare Jimoh, has attributed the achievements recorded in policing the state to divine intervention, the effectiveness and diligence of officers and men of the command, as well as the cooperation of Lagos residents.
Playing host to a delegation of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), Western Zone, CP Jimoh stated that the support of Almighty God, combined with the hard work of his officers and men, has made Lagos State increasingly hostile to criminal elements.
He further highlighted the strong cooperation the command receives from members of the public, noting that residents now have greater confidence in the police and promptly alert operatives about suspicious movements and criminal activities across the state.
The CP also acknowledged the support received from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Kayode Egbetokun, and the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, particularly in the provision of necessary equipment to combat crime, which he said has boosted the morale of officers and men.
While commending the IEDPU delegation from his home state for monitoring his performance and paying him a courtesy visit, CP Jimoh appealed for continued support from both residents and visitors to help make Lagos a crime-free state.
Earlier, the Zonal Chairman of IEDPU Western Zone, Dr. Musa Imoloba Owonikoko (PhD), praised CP Jimoh for making the Ilorin Emirate proud through his diligent efforts in combating crime in Lagos State.
He said, “On behalf of the Emir of Ilorin, Oba Ibrahim Sulu Gambari; the National President of IEDPU, Alhaji Abdulmumini Abdulmalik; and the entire Ilorin Emirate indigenes, we commend you for making us proud with your excellent work. We pray for more promotions and continued success.”
Dr. Owonikoko added, “Those of us living in Lagos even receive commendations from residents because of your good work. We thank you for making us proud.”
Members of the entourage included the former IEDPU Zonal Vice President, Alhaji Dauda Aduagba; the new Zonal Vice President, Alhaji Abdulraheem Arishekola; Zonal Vice Chairman, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Baba; Zonal Secretary, Alhaji Olayiwola Saka Raheem Idaoba; former Zonal Secretary, Alhaji Ibrahim Adeshina Raheem; Zonal Assistant PRO, Alhaji Abdulazeez Alege; Zonal Auditor, Mallam Jawondo; Zonal Financial Secretary, Mallam Soliu Adebayo Saka; and Chairman, IEDPU Yaba Branch, Alhaji Abubakar Ahmed.
