The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, has held a strategic security meeting with Commissioners of Police in Lagos State and Ogun State, reiterating the directives of the Inspector-General of Police and mandating strict compliance.
The meeting, held at the Zone 2 Headquarters in Onikan, Lagos, reviewed prevailing security challenges, crime trends, and operational strategies across both states.
AIG Jimoh emphasised intensified operational alertness, intelligence-led policing, and improved coordination, alongside the deployment of technology and rapid response systems to tackle violent crimes and emerging threats.
He also called for heightened vigilance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The AIG stressed the importance of proactive and community-based policing, urging stronger collaboration between commands and other security agencies, as well as enhanced surveillance patrols and targeted operations against criminal hideouts.
As part of new directives, he ordered an immediate halt to the transfer of cases from state commands to the zonal headquarters, stating that complaints should be handled at the state level, with zonal support where necessary.
He further warned officers to maintain professionalism, noting that misconduct would attract strict disciplinary action.
He cited the recent dismissal of five inspectors over human rights violations as a clear signal of zero tolerance for indiscipline.
The Commissioners of Police in both states, in their remarks, reported improved conduct among personnel and pledged continued adherence to directives.
AIG Jimoh also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, for providing logistics and support that have contributed to reduced crime rates.
He equally appreciated the governments of Lagos and Ogun states for their support in strengthening police operations through provision of equipment and training.
The AIG concluded with a directive to intensify round-the-clock patrols, stop-and-search operations, and prompt investigation of crimes, while ensuring transparency and public trust.
