    The Ogun State Police Command on Tuesday, said that it has deployed 7,777 officers across the state to enhance the security of lives and property during the Christmas, and New Year celebrations and beyond.

    This was contained in a statement sent to journalists on Tuesday by the spokesperson for the command, SP Omolola Odutola.

    The State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, is said to be leading the special crack team.

    The command said that having recognised the potential for increased criminal activities during the festive time, it has stepped up security measures with enhanced checkpoints and patrols across the state.

    The command revealed that officers in uniform and plainclothes would be present to deter crime and reassure the public of their safety while “Key locations such as places of worship, parks, recreation centres, government buildings, banks, and homes of diplomats will benefit from significant police presence.”

    Odutola said that high-risk areas that have witnessed threats in the past such as Long Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Rounder in Abeokuta, Sapaade, Ogunmakin and others will be monitored by armoured patrols.

    She said, “Additionally, specialised units like SWAT, Anti-Cultism and Anti-Kidnapping will conduct regular patrols around educational institutions.”

    The police emphasised a zero-tolerance policy towards any criminal activity aimed at disrupting year-end festivities and therefore warned all the criminal-minded to either have a change of heart or be ready to contend with the harsh reality of the law.

    The command also urged drivers to drive safely and exercise patience at roadblocks, which are in place for the collective benefit of all.

    Odutola added, “The command is working alongside other security agencies to provide a comprehensive security strategy aimed at ensuring peace and safety in Ogun State during this festive season.

    “The public is encouraged to cooperate with security agents and respect the personnel on duty, who are working hard to keep everyone safe. Adhering to these security protocols will greatly contribute to maintaining a safe environment during the holidays.

    “The Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo PhD, will be actively overseeing operations and coordinating with Area Commanders to support officers, with a force of 7,777 police officers deployed across the state.

    “The Operations Department is well-equipped to respond firmly to all threats.”
