He said that the purpose of the tour was to assist the leadership SCID to achieved their noble objective by creating an environment for effective fight of crimes through modern process, discipline and ethical observation of human right.

“We have been on this since the time of Rtd CP Olayinka Balogun as his friends, through the professional leadership he exhibited, we decide to come together support him with many monumental assets you see here during the tour’’.

According to him, some of what you saw today were initiated during balogun’s time and we have worked with different leadership of this particular department.

“Currently we are working hand in globe with the leadership of DCP Waheeb Ayilara who himself demonstrates the same quality which attracted us to Rtd Olayinka Balogun.

“Lagos is topnotch in terms of fighting crimes across the nations due to its high-quality officers that work in Lagos before they become Inspector General of police.

” It has been a very good rewarding relationship which I believe that Lagos happens to be the best in term of cracking crimes.

He said that it is the duty of the civil society to appreciate these quality officers, not necessarily giving money but to support them to show them that the society appreciates what they are doing.
“We are trying to assist them with the best we can, both in infrastructure, ideas through communication and all that.

“So, people should see police especially those of them at state CID not as ghost but human being that have blood flowing in their vein’’, he added.

In his response, DCP Waheeb Ayilara in-charge of Panti thanked the stakeholders for their supports

“This shows how committed you are with all your support in making our work very easy.
“But we still need more support because everything is now digitalised as our officers will need to be trained and retrained.

Police vow justice for guard killed during dog attack

The Lagos State Police Command says it will ensure that justice is served for the security guard killed when he was attacked by some dogs in the Pinnock Estate in the Lekki area of the state.

This is just as the police said they had confiscated the dogs and taken the owner, Salisu Mustapha, into custody.

The spokesperson for the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement shared on X on Wednesday.

It was reported that the command arrested the owner of three dogs that allegedly attacked and killed the security guard.

In a viral video shared on X by a user with the handle @itzbasito, the unidentified security guard was seen lying dead as the Boerboel dogs approached his lifeless body.

The user had stated that the dog owner unknowingly allowed the dogs to roam freely, leading to the attack that claimed the life of the estate guard on Monday night.

Hundeyin, while confirming the incident in a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday, said, “The dog owner has been arrested and is in our custody.”

But while giving an update on Wednesday, Hundeyin stated that the dogs were taken into custody while an investigation has commenced.

He also assured the public that justice would be served appropriately.

“Following the unfortunate mauling of a security man to death by three dogs in Pinnock Estate, Ilasan, Lekki on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, the Lagos State Police Command has arrested the owner of the dogs, Salisu Mustapha and confiscated the dogs pending the outcome of discreet investigations that have since commenced.

“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Olanrewaju Ishola, assures residents of the estate and the entire people of Lagos State that the ongoing investigations will be brought to a conclusive end and justice will be served as appropriate,” Hundeyin stated.
