The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Imohimi Edgal, has ordered all police formations under the command to embark on Show of Force on Thursday June 14th, 2018.

In a statement issued by the Lagos Police Boss on Wednesday, the  exercise will commence tomorrow from 6 am to 4pm across the state.

It states that the operation is to assure Lagosians of the readiness of the command to provide adequate security for the inhabitants of the state throughout the Sallah holiday and beyond.

“The Show of Force, among other things, is designed to send a clear warning to criminal elements that the police, at the forefront of  internal security (I.S) in the state, with the active collaboration of sister agencies, will give no room for evil and anti-social acts.

” Members of the public are advised not to panic when they see policemen  marching through their streets with their security assets as the operation is not to cause fear or intimidation. Any inconvenience caused by this operation is not intended, ” the statement reads.

The CP therefore seeks the understanding and cooperation  of Lagosians while the activity lasts.
