The Lagos State Police Command has received operational vehicles and protective equipment from the Lagos State Security Trust Fund ahead of the launch of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) in the state.
The Police Command, in a statement on Friday by its spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, said the donation was aimed at strengthening crime prevention and rapid response operations across Lagos.
The items donated by the LSSTF include two operational vehicles, 50 ballistic helmets, 50 bulletproof vests and 50 ballistic shields for the newly established unit.
Presenting the equipment, the Executive Secretary of the LSSTF, Ayodele Ogunsan, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to supporting security agencies with operational tools needed for effective policing and public safety.
Receiving the assets, the Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, thanked the Lagos State Government and the LSSTF for their continued support to the Command.
He said the support would “significantly boost the operational readiness” of the VCRU and strengthen the Command’s capacity to combat violent crimes and respond swiftly to emergencies across the state.
Fatai also reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to proactive policing and improved public safety in line with ongoing reforms in the Nigeria Police Force under the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu.
