The Lagos State Police Command has deployed additional five hundred
policemen to various routes on the Lagos Island with special focus on
Apogbon, TBS, Eko Hotels and environs . This was done to boost the
number of personnel already at various points in the area.The
deployment was necessitated by the following events coming up on the
Island which includes: The Experience, Adekunle Gold Concert and the
Davido Concert. Also factored in the strategy are people who would be
embarking on religious pilgrimage to RCCG Holy Ghost Congress at Redeem
Camp and Shiloh at the Winners' Chapel.Expectedly, the aforementioned
events will lead to surge in vehicular and human traffic thereby
bringing additional pressure to the already strained traffic situation
in the commercial city resulting in gridlock.To ameliorate the foreseen
situation, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Edgal Imohimi directed
that five hundred policemen be posted to Lagos Island to boost the
number of men already on ground in order to prevent crime and ensure
smooth flow of traffic.The CP warns criminals who might want to take
advantage of the upcoming events to stay away from the Island and indeed
the state as anyone caught will be summarily dealt with.He enjoins
Lagosians to report suspicious characters and movements to the police
through the following toll free emergency numbers 112 and 767. Also
