Lagos State Government has distributed 500 stunner guns, 20 garret metal detectors and 1,000 handcuffs to officials of Neighbourhood Watch, a community security outfit, to strenghten security in the state and also encourage community policing. The commissioner for Rural Development, Cornelius Ojelabi, stated at a press conference at the Secretariat, Ikeja, Lagos.
The commissioner said these security gadgets have since been distributed
to the coordinators and 11 patrol vans were purchased and distributed
to the officers last year while 28 patrol vans were refurbished in
January 2013.
Mr. Ojelabi further stated that Organisations, companies and
philanthropists could adopt projects in rural communities as part of
their corporate social responsibility and brand them in their names on
completion. With this we can together take Lagos to the next level and
make it a model mega city.
