The Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, Mr. Hakeem Odumosu, yesterday, disclosed that policemen have been deployed to carry out 24 hours surveillance on schools and farms, to avert kidnappings and banditry in Lagos State.
The Police boss, however, lamented that some of the terrains, especially those of the farms, were not accessible by vehicles.
He said the command would liaise with the Ministry of Agriculture and the state government in purchasing motorcycles for that patrol of the farmlands.
Fielding questions from journalists on the command’s preparedness to prevent kidnap attacks on schools and farmlands, Odumosu said: “The command has designed an Operation Order to cater for the deployment of personnel, surveillance, patrol and strict monitoring of schools and students’ activities across the state, in its bid to provide adequate security for both public and private schools in Lagos State.” (Vanguard)
