Ahead of Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections, Lagos State Police Command has redoubled it strategies with other security agencies in Lagos for a peaceful exercise.

According to the command, the police and other security agencies had learnt from some pockets of violence in some areas during the last elections, stressing that better security would be provided.

Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, said there would be better security during Saturday’s elections, assuring the public that no ethnic group or community was under threat in any part of Lagos as hoodlums that perpetrated post election attacks had been arrested and transferred to Abuja.

Muazu, said they have reviewed and redoubled their strategies to ensure a peaceful conduct of governorship and state House of Assembly elections come saturday, saying their surveillance and patrols were intensified, especially at identified flash points.

He called on Lagosians to go about their lawful businesses, saying they should come out en masse to cast their votes and continue to support the police through their emergency numbers so they could serve them better.

Muazu, warned people who sit in the comfort of their homes or offices and generate fake news which they circulate on social media deliberately to fan the ember of hate among the various peace loving entities of Lagos State, saying they should desist from the act or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.

He also denied reports that there wasn’t enough synergy between the police and other security agencies, saying they were all working together tirelessly to ensure safety.

“All security agents were at specific polling units and we were communicating through out the duration of the election. This is the first time all security agencies using one communication channel during elections in Lagos.

“The DSS were around and all polling units had more than one security agents. You know the military men were to provide back up and not to be seen close to the polling unit.

“However, what we will be doing now is to move more armed men close to the polling units. We also need to keep safe distance so that voters will not be intimidated.

“Also the marine police and the Navy will synergise to provide security at the riverine areas,” he said.
