The Lagos State Police Command has beefed up security at shopping malls and government warehouses where food items are stored in the metropolis to forestall any possible attack by miscreants.

Similarly, authorities of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in the Southwest region said its management had beefed up security around its warehouses in the region.

The move is to forestall any attack on government warehouses and shopping complexes by miscreants who may take advantage of the current hardship and hunger in the country to break into facilities where food items are stored.

Recall that a warehouse belonging to the Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat in the Federal Capital Territory was broken into by hoodlums and a truck loaded with food items was looted by some residents of Dei-Dei in Bwari Local Area of the FCT.

Speaking after a security meeting with Principal Staff Officers (PSOs), Heads of Tactical Teams, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), the Lagos State police commissioner, Mrs Adegoke Fayoade, said plain-clothes policemen had been deployed to keep a close watch on shopping malls as well as key government installations in the state.

Fayoade has also placed all area commanders and their respective Divisional Police Officers on red alert to prevent any breakdown of law and order in any part of the metropolis.

Operatives of the state’s anti-crime squad, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), have also been directed to keep a close watch on government warehouses and shopping centres where food and beverages are sold.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, exclusively disclosed this to our correspondent on the telephone.

The PPRO said the command was alive to its responsibility of providing security for all and sundry.

Hundeyin said though the command did not anticipate such attack, the deployment was a proactive measure to check any act of violence in the state.

Also speaking, NEMA’s South West Territorial Coordinator, Ibrahim Farinloye, said they had also been directed to beef up security at all government installations in the region.

“All critical stakeholders are on standby for any attempt by anyone. Even though there isn’t a single food item in the warehouses, we are taking precautionary security measures to protect both human and other assets of the federal government from any unforeseen circumstance,” he said.

Good Job.
Looting is never the answer.
Next time elect senators and house of reps that will make laws to favor you and protect your interests.
Elect governors that wont see you starving
Elect LG chairmen who would come to your aid.

Once you dont elect leaders who will assist, you cant come and be looting
Looting is still a criminal offence.

If your wife doesn't sleep with you, it doesn't justify going out to rape another woman.

Let the Hungry Eat!!!

Who do you want to vote ? That one with a woman's voice, running from party to party. That was given just one state as governor and left it worse than he met it ?

Or the one that lives in Dubai and comes on vacation in Nigeria ?

You can see how a capital failure like BUHARI has shown better than the drug lord.

How can a sane man announce subsidy removal at inugration without due consultations? How can he float naira at the same time? One reason, lack of cordination.

Any market woman would have done better than him. Comparing him and PO is an insult to PO personality. Tinubu is a disgrace

I actually commend Tinubu for doing those 2 things.
Meanwhile the other guy you mentioned is a political Neophyte.
He governed Anambra so well, he moved to Lagos after his tenure, just like his Godfather who moved to Dubai.

You are commending a FAILURE because you too is a failure. Look at how you type in red on every comment. Blue color is for writing and red for marking. You are such a failure.

Proper grammar

"you too are a failure" not "you too is a failure"

Thank God you agreed you are one

😂😂 wahala country. But can't secure the Life of the citizens 🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦯

No greater sign that things are collapsing than people raiding markets just to get food to eat. Eventually they will start attacking anyone who isn't poor and chaos will be the order of the day.

Tribalism, religious intolerance and greed is what led us here.

Shey police too no dey hungry ni? Time will tell.

It's one of two things. A coup or a revolution
