Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has condemned the recent destruction of properties in Lagos and other parts of the country.


He during a visit to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the state House in Marina, said the Nigeria Police Force is tracking down the culprits.


According to him, Lagos was the epicenter where the #EndSARS protest took place and the number of destruction in the subsequent violence was more in Lagos than any other part.


In his word, he came to commiserate with the Governor and people of the State, saying the destruction they suffered was uncalled for.


He said his visit was to see the police stations destroyed and boost the morale of men in Lagos, so as not to demoralised them by the event in which they suffered personal attacks.


While noting that the morale of some officers had dampened in the light of the violence, the police chief said his visit is meant to encourage them to give their all in protecting the lives and properties of the citizens.


Adamu said the scale of the destruction witnessed in Lagos and around the country called for the need to adopt standard protocols for public protests.


He visited some of the assets torched in Lagos, including the vandalised palace of the Oba of Lagos.


On his part, Governor Sanwo-Olu commiserated with the IGP over the mob attacks on police personnel and torching of their stations.


Despite the violence visited on the police formations by hoodlums who hijacked the protest, the governor commended the officers in the State Police Command for exercising restraint in the face of the attacks.


He informed Adamu of the move by government to rebuild the razed police stations and offer scholarship awards to the children of the officers killed in the violence
