The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Onikan, Lagos, AIG Ahmed Iliyasu, has assured the residents of both Lagos and Ogun States of tranquility to sleep with their two eyes fully closed during this lockdown period.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that AIG Ahmed made the statement  while responding in a radio programme, adding that DPOs, Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders and Commissioners of Police in both states are working assiduously to beef up security throughout the nooks and crannies of the areas. 
He advised hoodlums, miscreants in the habit of terrorising the residents to henceforth desist from this barbaric attitude otherwise they will face the wrath of law, saying, there is no place for criminals to hibernate within the Zone.He further noted that Covid-19 is real as it has caused unrest globally and the position of governments on lockdown is to detect hidden cases of this pandemic and proffer solutions that will get rid of this virus. He emphasized that fighting unknown enemy is enough than causing unrest through criminal activities in our areas.
AIG Iliyasu enjoined the residents to be vigilant at all times and report any suspicious individual in their areas to the Police, adding that government has put machineries in place to check any criminality. While responding on the live radio interview, Iliyasu stated that “I have the clear knowledge of the policing environment, as in clear knowledge of the people, following the Covid-19 pandemic which is not only National but international.”Covid-19 has covered everywhere, brought so many difficulties, but I appreciate the response of the Federal Government and two States Governments, that is, the Lagos State which is a smart economy and Ogun State following the lockdown and restrictions. I took the two of my Commissioners of Police on a visiting round, if you could remember one or two weeks ago for an assessment of the restriction on the ground. I move from Lagos here down to Ogun State with the two CPs and made very clear statement on various reviews of their security scription and compliance level. After reviewing the security scription and the intelligence report, some quite disturbing coming from some areas like Ogun where we have Ifo, Agbado, Akute, Ijoko you know I know areas in Ogun State.””The activities of the hoodlums which began in the border areas of Ifo, Agbado, Akute and Ijoko in Ogun State spread over to Agege, Ipaja, Isolo, Oshodi, Badagry, Idimu, Isheri, Alagbado here and some areas of Alimosho, most of these areas, they shared common borders, culture and commercial activities. So after making a review of this architecture, we therefore decided to bring out a complete plan whereby the activities of these miscreants will be brought down to level””We are assuring all our people in Lagos and Ogun State based on the security architecture we have now put in place also with the assistance of the two State Governments as well as the Inspector General of Police, new sets of Tactical Fusion forces have been deployed. Also there is patrol, quick response, we have set out all the numbers of operatives in the Command, the DPOs, Area Commanders and I’m assuring all the people to go back and disregard some of the rumours spreading around, to sleep with their two eyes closed because our Officers are on ground. Tactical Commanders, Commissioners of Police that we have on ground also with the injection of a Deputy Inspector General of Police, who is coming in to observe and coordinate some of the operations of the tactical injected. We are assuring everybody of peace and tranquility” Iliyasu added.
