AIG Kokumo Sends Message To Lagos Residents
- AIG Kokumo has sent a message to Lagos residents.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Ogun and Lagos States, Johnson Kokumo, has assured the residents of Agege in the Agege Local Government Area of adequate security of lives and properties.
The AIG gave the assurance on Wednesday while reacting to the menace of cultists in the area.
Kokumo, who was on a working visit to the Lagos community, assured the residents that efforts will be put in place by the police to ensure they sleep with their two eyes closed.
The AIG said, “This is a home call because I belong to Agege, I was born and brought up here in the community and it is my origin.
“I know I have a lot of responsibility to ensure both Ogun and Lagos States are crime-free.
“And am assuring Agege community that efforts will be put in place to ensure the residents sleep with their two eyes closed.
“Though I have noted the security challenges facing the community as mentioned earlier by the council chairman, we will do all in our capacity to ensure the community is crime-free,” Kokumo stated.
He added that the police will not only focus on one local government council but also on all nook and crannies in both Lagos State and Ogun.

On his part, the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government, Alhaji Ganiyu Egunjobi, described the AIG’s visit as a homecoming, saying, “We see this more as a homecoming of our own in Agege. AIG Kokumu is one of us in Agege, having schooled and lived here for many years.
“So this is more than a working visit, we will like you to help address some of the security challenges facing us.
“We have the menace of Awawa cult group to contend with, they operate in large numbers, at times in daylight and under the spell of hard drugs and various substances robbing and inflicting injuries on their victims.
“The council is doing its best to rein them in. Not few of them are beneficiaries of our ongoing rehabilitation programme in which those that were enrolled receive N10,000 monthly and are also learning vocational skills at our training centre,” Egunjobi said.
