The Lagos State Taskforce has intensified efforts to tackle the menace of “one chance” operators and traffic-related crimes by deploying additional patrol motorcycles across key areas of the state. This comes in response to numerous public complaints following the initial deployment of the agency’s brand new Max S Bikes in August.
Recognizing the urgency to enhance security and ensure the safety of commuters, the Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele has ordered the reinforcement of patrol operations on bikes, particularly in areas with high incidences of traffic robberies. These areas include Agege Motor Road, Fagba, Gbagada Expressway, Iyana-Oworo, Oshodi Expressway, among others.
The Chairman stated that the added patrol units will improve the agency’s ability to swiftly respond to incidents, track down criminals, and create a greater sense of safety for all motorists.
“The Lagos State Taskforce remains committed to maintaining law and order within the metropolis, ensuring that all citizens can travel without fear of robbery or other criminal activities.”
Akerele further urged residents to continue reporting suspicious activities to the Agency through the designated phone number; 08089705008 or the social media handles, while assuring the public that these new measures will significantly reduce traffic crimes and enhance overall environmental decorum and safety in the Metropolis.
