The conference also discussed the trend of crimes in the metropolis, current strategies, and the experiences of senior officers.
Owohunwa said Lagos residents expect service and professionalism, assuring that the safety of lives and property remains a top priority.
The “immediate challenge” is the increasing threat of violent criminals and cultists, the CP noted while urging strengthened operational strategies.
Owohunwa announced the deployment of an elitist and well-trained Special Operations Police Units to locations where cultism is prevalent.
Also, the eight special units domiciled under the CP’s office would either be decentralised or the personnel attached to divisional and area commands.

“Armchair DPOs or Area Commanders shall not be tolerated; go out to coordinate operations and supervise your personnel,” Owohunwa directed
