The government of Lagos State has noted with deep concern attacks on law enforcement agents by hoodlums.
Lagos State Governor
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed
Lagos Commissioner of Police to bring to book killers of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Kazeem Abonde, who was murdered last week in Ajao Estate by hoodlums.
He said:”This is to encourage our law enforcement agents that we will always stand by them as they carry out their duties and, at the same time, send a strong signal to criminals that any attack on our officers will not go unpunished.Such display of savagery as the one in which CSP Abonde died will not be allowed in our state, no matter the circumstances.
“The law is there for us all, should there be need to redress any perceived wrongdoing. Citizens who take the law into their own hands are promoters of jungle justice, which will not be allowed to take root in our dear Lagos.”
He sympathized with the family of the fallen officer and the Police Command on the loss of the fine officer whose diligence and bravery have been applauded by his colleagues and relations.
