The Lagos State government, through the State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) yesterday handed over 25 patrol vehicles to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) for operational use.

The vehicles were handed over to the new Police Commissioner for the state, Hakeem Odumosu, at the State House, Alausa, Ikeja.

Presenting the vehicles on behalf of the Chairman and Board of the Fund, the Executive Secretary, Abdulrazaq Balogun, stated that the vehicles were part of the periodic injection of additional vehicles to

enhance RRS’ operational coverage and increase police visibility in the state.

Balogun added that the additional vehicles would assist the police in combating crime, especially during the yuletide period when crime rate was always on the rise.

He expressed the Fund’s appreciation on RRS’ efforts in combating crime in the state, adding that the feedback it has been getting from Lagos residents on the issue had been encouraging.

Odumosu assured the LSSTF that the police would make judicious use of the vehicles.

He stated that the gesture would serve as a challenge to the police to ensure that the lives and property of residents were protected at all times.
