The Lagos State and Ogun State Police Commands have started working together to patrol the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in order to prevent crime in the area.
The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, announced this on Thursday. The joint patrols will focus on the area from Kara Bridge to the Sagamu Interchange.
Hundeyin reassured motorists that the increased police presence is for their safety and there is no need to be alarmed.
He wrote, “As part of efforts to enhance security on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos State Police Command and its Ogun State counterpart have commenced joint patrols of Kara Bridge to Sagamu Interchange.
“The patrol teams from the Lagos State Command will comprise mainly the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
“Motorists are, therefore, enjoined not to panic at the sight of increased police patrols, particularly the RRS, as it is a proactive measure to prevent crime and criminality on this stretch of road.”
