Lagos State Police Command has vowed to clamp down on perpetrators of one chance and traffic robbery in the state.

The Command urged residents of the state to be vigilant and not be carried away by free and cheap things which often made them victims.

Its Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said this during a town hall meeting hosted by Area B Command, Apapa, saying it had been observed that the hoodlums take advantage of the resumption and close of work hours to forcefully dispossess their victims of valuables in traffic.

Imohimi, said he had told his men that they needed to move in Mufti in traffic and carry light arms, saying the command would continue to do this until the issue of traffic robbery was reduced.

According to him, some people often get attracted to cheap things without being vigilant.

He said the money they stole from their victims could be easily traced to an account if prompt reports were made by the victims.

Imohimi, condemned policemen who carried out raids on criminals’ hideouts without informing the Divisional Policemen Officers and Area Commanders.

The commissioner urged members of the public to take complaints to the area commanders and also utilise the Citizen’s Complaint Hot Center to report misconduct of policemen.
