Security: Lagos Council Donates Patrol Vehicles To Police
Determined to further empower the police with a view to strengthening the security apparatus within the council, Epe Local Government Council Chairman, Princess Surah Animashaun has donated two Patrol Vehicles to the council Police Tactical Team.

Princess Animashaun, at the event that took place at the council secretariat, Ita-Marun, Epe, said the gesture was to enable the police to enhance its operations by combing notorious areas that could serve as hideouts for hoodlums.

Handling the vehicles to the Commander of the Police Tactical Team, the Chairperson commended the police for the great work it is doing to ensure the safety of lives and properties.

She emphasized that security remains the heartbeat of her administration, stressing  that Epe local government must remain a place where residents, businesses, and visitors feel safe and protected at all times.

Princess Animashaun described the donation as a clear demonstration of support and partnership with security  agencies working round the clock to keep the community safe and peaceful.

“Epe Council is known to be one of the most peaceful councils in Lagos state and in a bid to sustain this feat, the present administration deemed it fit to donate the vehicles to the police to strengthen its security mechanism.

“There is no way the council would have enjoyed this level of peace without the police, and I am convinced that the force deserves more support for them to continue to achieve the desired results.

“These patrol vans will further fortify the police in patrolling notorious routes as well as nooks and crannies where nefarious activities are rampant with a view to nipping such in the bud," she said.

Responding, the Commander of the Tactical Team, CSP Nosa Igbineweka, expressed appreciation to the Chairperson for the timely and strategic intervention, describing it as a rare benevolence, especially at a time when there is shortage of fund everywhere.

He noted that the vehicles would significantly boost patrol coverage, response time, and operational efficiency, assuring residents of Tactical Team's continued commitment to peace, law, and order.

CSP Igbineweka further said the Chairperson’s support for the police would further inspire men and officers of the Team to strive towards reducing crime to its barest minimum.

“To whom much is given, much is expected. I will ensure that these vehicles will be adequately used to curtail criminal activities in the state”, he assured.

CSP Igbineweka, who stressed that the vehicles would expand their patrol, however, maintained that the police will do all within its capacity to ensure that the existing peace in the council is sustained.
