Lekki residents donate patrol van, tents to police

The Lekki Estate Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA) has donated a patrol van to the Area J command, Ajah, of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The gesture, according to the association, was to show support to the police division and strengthen its capability for curbing violent crimes and other social vices in the area.

The Ajah division was one of the numerous police stations burnt by hoodlums during the #EndSARS protests in Lagos last October. Police vehicles, as well as other properties were set ablaze during the attacks.

Speaking at the weekend during the donation at the premises of the burnt Ajah Divisional Police headquarters, president of LERSA, Olorogun James Emadoye, who presented the keys to the Area Commander, Gbolahun Olugbemi, said Ajiwe and other police stations around the Lekki corridor were highly affected by the #EndSARS vandalisation that followed the Lekki tollgate shooting, which made the community pull resources to help the police.

The items donated include a Toyota Hilux, temporary tents, chairs and a generating set. (Guardian)
