The Lagos State Police Command has instructed officers to intensify security operations along the Mile 12–Ketu corridor following reports of robbery attacks on motorists.
The alert came after a social media post by X user @lollypeezle on Monday, claiming that armed youths were attacking vehicles in the area. “At Mile 12 this morning, boys were robbing cars with cutlasses.
They even tried to force open my guy’s door. Between Mile 12 and Ketu, there are two police stations, yet we have the most notorious boys in that axis. Ijoba, e gba wa,” the post read.
In response, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, said the Commissioner of Police had ordered immediate action to strengthen security.
“The Commissioner of Police has directed the Area Commander, the DPO, and the Tactical Team responsible for the area to step up efforts in securing their jurisdiction and preventing further incidents,” she said.
Adebisi also urged residents and motorists to promptly report suspicious activities through the command’s dedicated helplines.
She advised the public to use the following numbers 07061019374, 08065154338, 08063299264, 08039344870, and 09168630929 whenever such incidents occur to enable a swift response by security personnel.
