cool, but does not make sense for states to fund a federal police which they can't control

That is not what is going on here. RRS is exclusive to Lagos and one of the unique parastatals, revamped under Tinubu and Fashola, keeping Lagos much safer than many other States in Nigeria.

Sanwo Olu funding RRS is self-beneficial for Lagos, rather than the NPF, because their operation aids better security of Lagos alone.

RRS is actually a small glimpse of how great a Lagos State independent police force could be.

Rapid Response Squad (RRS)
Rapid Response Squad (RRS): This is a section of the Lagos State Police Command set up to respond speedily to emergencies within Lagos State.

It was initially referred to as ‘Operation Sweep’ during the Buba Marwa military administration and later restructured and re-organized and renamed ‘Rapid Response Squad’ [RRS] by the Tinubu Administration.

The Squad was charged with onerous task of flushing crime out of every part of Lagos State. The RRS comprises of about two thousand officers. The Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) equips the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), through the donations and contributions from Organizations and well-meaning individuals, to enhance its operational capability and the effectiveness of the men of RRS.

This is reflected in the thousands of motorbikes, patrol vehicles, helicopters, gunboats, ballistic helmets/bullet proof vests, rain coats/boots, etc provided for the RRS which has helped to significantly reduce the crime rate in the State. The LSSTF is the “unseen” face behind the RRS.

naso........

If dem born their papa well, make dem no protest peacefully.....lagos is still counting their loses....from the aftermath of the endsars protest.......i am strongly in support of the governor.......the police should shoot any idiot disturbing the peace or destroying and property........

They can protest peacefully

Lagos for show.

Very useless police. Check those vehicles out in 6 months.

Dangote gave them hundreds of these just few years ago. No one knows where the skeletons/chassis were buried.

Correct

5Gnet:
no be only innoson inodugter...very useless pupil same inoson pmb direct senate and rep to use and there brother from same east come out in senate chamber and say mba

Don't mind them. Froth at the mouth like a mad dog because Lagos is not using Innoson yet remain hypocritically silent over how SE Governors have no interest in promoting the same Innoson that is their collective brand.

Charity never begins at home for Igbos. For them it is about hypocritically demanding from others what they themselves cannot give.

If only the can be provided with advanced weapons.

This is commendable. When southwest wakes up nobody go fit stop them.

All these just because of #June12protest
LASG realy mean it

You sabi Jare ... First they ban Twitter to avoid it trending and now handing over of police equipment to show force.....watch and see how Twitter will work after June 12 and nothing happens

Due to our bad roads a pickup is better than those cars. In 2 years they wouldn't be functional.

Kudos to His Excellency, I wish others state will really use lagos as a model state. ���

Instead of empowering Amotekun with 5000 units of AK 47 and bags of bullets, he still dey dash police
Ask police to account for this vehicles by thus time next year , u go surprised

Lol. You paranoid people no go kill person sha. When Sanwo Olu announced the 5 year Lagos agricultural road map some weeks back, what was that in response to if not the need to boost Lagos food sufficiency?

Maybe this is just a measure to improve security from a State that has never been a slave of the FG and has not followed the indolent 'Abuja begging bowl' template of the rest of Nigeria since Tinubu took over in 1999.

Good move Mr governor but our rough rider force men i pray the cars will last

You IPOBians and Biafrans only know to cause trouble with your ignorance and lack of education.

Why don't you find out the type of firearm Amotekun, a support force for the NPF, is legally empowered to carry before making ignorant noise.

Well Done sir, my only fear is after 2 years you will be surprised that most this vehicle and security equipment will vanished into thin air.

na INNOSON be dis

when last you see NPF ride MOTORCYCLE ?

Nigerians are fools and their so-called leaders are dunces. While should a Nigeria buy truck equipped with snow-plow mechanism?

Ok now

Where are all this vehicles going into. Yet we hardly count their presence on our streets and highways. Police presence not felt at all.

For fresh new holp up

Once beaten, twice shy.

Nothing go happen! The citizens of that geographical expression, that virtual country, have rights to protest and do rally. And they will do it.
