The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Fatai Owoseni has admonished residents of the
state to instantly alert the police of any crime in
their neighbourhood rather than ‘breaking the
news’ on the social media.
Owoseni, while addressing newsmen in Lagos on
Friday, called on Nigerians to instantly alert the
police of any crime, rather than hoarding the
information and waiting to post it on the social
media thereafter.
He said, “We have launched police application on
smart phones. We have hot lines which are in
public domain and we have telephones at every
police station where the public can reach us at
any time of the day or night.
“There is usually a police team at every point in
the state and crime could be combated easily
and quickly if the police would get the
information instantly.
“When they hoard information, we could have
used that time to deal with the situation
promptly. So, we beg the public to help us in
order for us to help them. It is their taxes that
are used to pay our salaries. We are always
there for the public.”
The Police Commissioner further noted that
policemen experience avoidable challenges from
residents when they want to respond to distress
calls.
Owoseni said, “Sometimes, we get distress calls,
when we get to some streets, we find the gates
locked and the gatemen manning would be
nowhere to be found. This contributes to ways
criminals get away with crime easily.
