“On the strength of this development, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, directed that additional men be deployed to the area to restore normalcy while forty eight of them were arrested. Police boss has ordered that the hoodlums should be made to face the full wrath of the law and serve as a deterrent to others who might want to foment troubles in the state.”
The Police had on Tuesday ordered the arrest of 13 leaders of warring groups in the area who were fingered in the lingering crisis rocking Gengere Community, Mile 12, Ketu, Lagos, last week.
Odumosu, therefore, affirmed that the command and other security agencies would adopt 24 hour patrol and surveillance in the area until the culprits involved in the crises were brought to book and total law and order was restored in the entire area.
He warned that the command would not tolerate any act of violence and lawlessness in any part of the state as all hands were on deck to suppress any criminal act within the ambit of the law.
