Owohunwa, who urged the RSS officers to do more, said the squad has provided much assistance in helping to stabilise Lagos State.

“If there is any unit that has assisted me in stabilising the state more, it is RRS,” the police commissioner said.

“They call you at any time, you respond. I have come to thank you for your sacrifice and that only God can continue to protect and reward the services you render to this state.”
