He announced the formation of a tactical squad and sought the council’s support in providing a suitable base for their deployment.
“We will not tolerate land grabbers, cultists, or criminal elements disrupting the peace of Ibeju-Lekki,” he warned. “The Police will deepen digital policing, enforce discipline, and eliminate all forms of corruption.”
He revealed the establishment of an Anti-Cultism Unit, directed Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to intensify patrols, and called for stronger synergy between law enforcement and traditional leadership.
