The Lagos police command says it is “working seriously”
to prevent any form of terrorist attack in the state.
Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos police spokesperson, spoke during a
Twitter Space on Saturday, which was monitored by PUNCH.
Over the past few days, the spate of violent attacks has
increased in many parts of the country.
Abuja, the country’s capital, has also witnessed a series of violent onslaughts on security operatives, including a recent attack on troops of the presidential guard.
Speaking on the readiness of the Lagos police to combat
terrorism, Hundeyin said all security apparatus in the state have been
“optimally deployed” to prevent any attack.
He said the Department of State Services (DSS) has also been
sharing intelligence reports with the command.
“We are working seriously with other security agencies. Many
times when I am with the commissioner of police, Abiodun Alabi, the Department
of State Services keeps sending intelligence reports to us,” he said.
“All resources are
available, from human resources to gadgets. Our equipment has been optimally
deployed to ensure that we don’t have any attack in Lagos.
“The people also have a role to play by reporting suspicious
movements to security agencies. It’s a collective thing. On our part, we are
not just ignoring it, we are at alert.
“Most of us have families, and relatives in Lagos, my
parents are in Lagos and I know that if I don’t do my job, it’s not just the
people out there that will be affected, we (the police) will be affected by
this. We’re all Nigerians and we’re together in this.”
