The Lagos State Government has commissioned various gadgets which it hopes will add value to policing in the state.

Items commissioned include three helicopters, 15 armoured personnel carriers, patrol vehicles, two gun boats, 100 power bikes and other security gadgets.

The State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, expressed the view that the commissioning underscores the seriousness of the Lagos State government in ensuring the security of lives and property.

The Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, told the gathering that the security gadgets were quite necessary, considering the strategic importance of the Lagos State in Nigeria. Lagos State is Nigeria’s commercial city.

Mr Arase said that Governor Ambode had done the right thing by giving priority to security.
