The State Commandant, has immediately, seized, this lofty opportunity to appreciate the State Government led by His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo – Olu, the Board of Trustees and Management of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund for this unprecedented unflinching support to the Command.
The Lagos State Commandant therefore, pledged to ensure the judicious deployment of the Motorbikes to fight bedeviling insecurity challenges that may want to undermine the safety and security of the state in some already identified flash points, black spots and locations across the state.
“We will ensure we deploy these motorbikes to carry out the recent Commandant General’s directive, which is for us to ensure strict focus on the Mandates of the Corps so as to get the desired results as they will help to increase our response time to crime in the state,” Keshinro said. He further said that response time is most critical in combatting crime if not one may loose the battle to the enemy in an unpalatable and disappointing manner.
