The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Ishola Olanrewaju, has read the riot act to criminals in the state, warning that hard time awaits any one with criminal minds.
The CP who was speaking during his maiden press briefing at his office in Ikeja, said the era of begging criminals to repent or relocate from the state was over, as he has come to Lagos to pay hoodlums in their own coins.
The CP who was talking tough paraded 200 suspected criminals arrested in different locations of the state within a period of one week that he resumed office as the news state police boss.
CP Olanrewaju said the arrest of the suspects would be a warning to others planning to commit crime to choose either to repent or test the mighty of the force, “I am not boasting, I have worked in Lagos in different capacities and I know the state in and out.
Last week when AIG Zone 2 command, Adegoke Fayoade handed the mantle of leadership to me and gave me the strategies that he used to police the state, I made it clear that I am here for business and I mean it.
“To God be the glory, I have fine and dedicated officers who have worked with me in different capacities. My team is formidable and dedicated to duty.
“As you all know, I don’t sit in the office and allow my officers to work, I go with them. I lead operations and the result is what you are seeing. In one week, we have raided bad spots and made this number of arrests.
I am not saying that all of them will be charged to Court, no, we are going to profile them to know those who were in the wrong place at the time we raided.
