Amid the resurgence of killings in some parts of the country, Lagos State government has urged its residents not to panic because it has put measures in place to ensure adequate security for them.

The state’s commissioner for information and strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, who stated this at an interactive session with journalists in Lagos, said the state government is pumping more resources to secure the state.
He said, “You will agree with me that we do not just say that Lagos is the most secure state in Nigeria, it is, and considering the kind of pressure that we are having people coming into the state every hour in their thousands, for us to be able to keep this state the way it is then, we deserve a kudos.

“Let me tell you, it’s not because of the fact that we talked about it that the state is secure, it’s because some people are not sleeping while you and I were sleeping. What you do about security is not what you put on the television and splash on the pages of the newspapers, they are strategic and something that must be kept close to your chest,” he said.

Omotoso added that security is the business of everyone by reporting issues of security to the government.
He said, “But the kind of things that I see in Lagos is what we see in all cities of the world. I tell people when they come to Nigeria and say they are worried about security and I tell them that when I go to some other places like New York, London that I too get worried because people don’t get stabbed at the bus stop in Lagos, they can pick your pocket and all of that if you’re not attentive enough, and that is not enough for people to say there is a security challenge in Lagos.

“All of the guys who were into traffic robbery, a few months ago, we all saw how police paraded all of the people that they arrested and every time it is being reported by posting photographs on how Mr Governor organises his meetings, there is a kind of synergy that you have amongst the security agencies in Lagos, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, Civil Defence and our own Neighborhood Watch which is very effective, because you find them everywhere,’’ he stated.
