The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, says security agencies were on top of threats by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and Oodua Republic agitators to disrupt law and order in the state, EKO HOT BLOG has gathered.

The Police Commissioner made this known at a stakeholders’ forum on security chaired by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the state secretariat, Alausa on Monday.

According to Odumosu, “The command has taken notice of agitators for Oodua Republic by some Yoruba separatist groups and the threats to disrupt law and order in the state. Twenty-four of these groups have been identified and being closely monitored.

“Similarly, the threat of IPOB to attack soft targets in Lagos is equally being put on the radar of the command intelligence gathering and other security services in the state. Strategies are being put in place to neutralise their activities.

“The command is using this medium to solicit for the support of all and sundry to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious person or movement to security agencies. Let us adopt the slogan of when you see something, say something,” he said.

Odumosu further enjoined the state government to immediately take urgent measures against commercial motorcycles, popularly known as Okada riders in the state.
