Jimoh, who stated this while addressing journalists during a pre-election security briefing in Lagos, said the deployment comprises the existing 20,000 officers in the state command and an additional 10,000 personnel approved by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to reinforce the operation.

According to him, the deployment covers all 13,325 polling units in the state’s 20 local government areas and 33 local council development areas (LCDAs).

“We are fully prepared. Our operations are structured into three phases: pre-election, election day, and post-election. Threat assessments have been conducted, flashpoints identified, and proactive measures taken,” the CP said.

He also revealed that the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES), which he co-chairs with the chairman of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), has been instrumental in coordinating efforts between the police, military, and other security agencies.

Jimoh said the security architecture includes marine police, tactical units such as the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos State Taskforce, and other special squads deployed to support operations across land and coastal areas.

“No polling unit will be left unmanned. Officers at polling units will not be armed, but armed intervention teams will be stationed within striking distance,” he said.

The commissioner led a show of force exercise earlier in the day to reassure the public of their readiness and to deter criminal elements.

According to him, vehicular movement will be restricted from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on election day. He added that the adjustment from the previously announced 8:00 a.m. start was made to accommodate emergency services and international travellers.

He further warned political thugs and criminal elements against attempting to disrupt the electoral process, stating that anyone caught would be decisively dealt with by the law.
