 LAGOS REASSURES RESIDENTS OF SAFETY



The Statewide exercise to free Lagos of visible security risks has continued after the arrest of some suspects under the Dolphin Estate bridge.

As part of the exercise, 450 miscreants were at the weekend rescued.

The exercise will continue as part of the government’s responsibility to keep our citizens safe and secure.
