The Lagos State Police command has launched a 24-hour anti-crime patrol along the coastal road to boost security and protect commuters and construction sites.
The Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, announced the initiative on Thursday during a show of force along the route.
Jimoh said the move was designed to prevent crime, theft and other offences along the newly opened road and the officers were stationed at intersections, black spots, and other vulnerable points.
He further said that the initiative is supported by the Lagos State Government through the State Security Trust Fund, in collaboration with the Minister of Works, David Umahi, and since the deployment, they have not recorded any case of kidnapping or robbery in the area due to the police presence.
