In
his bid to get Lagos and Ogun states rid of kidnappers and
criminals,the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2
Command Lagos ,AIG Abdulmajid Ali, has partnered the military,particularly,the Nigerian Navy for the clearing of the
waterways in the 2 states.
It
will be recalled that the governments of Lagos and Ogun States have
taken the bull by the horn to clear the waterways of shanties and bushes
to pave way for adequate patrol and smooth navigation of the affected
communities along the riverrine areas to suppress the activities of the
kidnappers (militants) who have been terrorising the good people of
the 2 states.
The police boss,after proper
consultations with the police high command and relevant agencies,has
deployed police teams including the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Zonal
Intervention Squad and Zonal Anti kidnapping Team of zone 2 Lagos to
partake in the special operation for its effectiveness.
AIG
Abdulmajid Ali also urged the people of the concerned areas to support
the police and the military in the operation that will checkmate the
excesses of the hoodlums and the kidanppers within the zone during and
beyond the yyuletide period.
The AIG zone 2
therefore assures the affected communities and general public of safety
and effective policing of the areas as his command will leave no stone
unturned to tackle kidnapping and other violent crimes within zone 2
command,Lagos and Ogun states.
In another
development, the AIG zone 2,AIG Abdulmajid Ali,has dissociated himself
from a publication in one of the Nigerian newspapers dated 1st Novmber
2016 captioned "Protest Greets Police Postings " where the reporter
distorted facts and misconceptualised issues concerning the recent
postings of senior officers in the police including him.
The
publication,which condemned the leadership of the IGP and alleged him
of bias,favourim and witch-hunting,was baseless and uncalled for since
posting of officers and men is a normal routine in the police and it's
inevitable. AIG Ali stressed that the repoter has shown ignorance and
malice in his publication as contained in one of its paragraphs in
quote " that the IGP has flooded strategic commands and units with his
kinsmen from Niger state" whereas the affected AIG,Abdulmajid Ali, is
one of the kinsmen of the IGP from the same Niger state.
The
police boss has condemned the publication that was meant to damage his
reputation before the office of the Inspector-General of Police and the
general public; and thereby urges the public to disregard the
publication and support the IGP on his effort to reposition the Nigeria
Police force which is fundamental to our national development.
