The Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF, has donated four new patrol vehicles to the Lagos Police Command dedicated for the ‘Anti-Crime Patrol’.

It says the donated vehicles is to further strengthen Lagos State’s security architecture and reinforcing round-the-clock patrol operations across key corridors of the state.

The vehicles were presented by the LSSTF Executive Secretary/CEO, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, in line with the commitment of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to continuously enhance security operations.

Dr Ogunsan said the initiative is part of renewed efforts to expand operational capacity, improve mobility, and support police-led crime-prevention strategies.

During the presentation, Dr. Ogunsan reaffirmed LSSTF’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Lagos State Police Command, expressing confidence that the new patrol vehicles will significantly boost operational efficiency.

He added that LSSTF will continue to mobilise private-sector support, strengthen inter-agency collaboration, and sustain investments that guarantee the safety and security of residents, businesses, and critical infrastructure across Lagos State.

Receiving the vehicles on behalf of the Command, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, praised the LSSTF under the Executive Secretary, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan for its consistent interventions.

Jimoh described the gesture as “an extremely great initiative” that aligns with the strategic vision of Governor Sanwo-Olu and the policing agenda of the Nigeria Police Force under Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun.

He noted that Eko Strike Force has become a critical component of Lagos’ security framework, providing efficient and effective patrol support while complementing the efforts of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS).

Jimoh said the Eko Strike Force is not working in isolation but complementing the RRS to ensure round-the-clock patrol and safety of lives and property.

He further revealed that the four Anti-Crime Patrol vehicles donated by LSSTF mark the beginning of a new security initiative approved by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun and supported by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The Police Boss noted that the new unit, Anti-Crime Patrol and Community Protection Team, will be headquartered in Maroko, with operational coverage spanning Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and the Lekki–Epe corridor.

According to the Lagos CP, the Governor, through LSSTF, has already pledged 10 vehicles to fully operationalise the new anti-crime team, ensuring 24-hour patrol and enhanced crime prevention across the high-traffic corridor.
