“The Lagos State Government today
welcomed the released school students, Vice-Principal and Head teacher
of Igbonla Model College, Epe, who were kidnapped by suspected Ijaw
militants on Thursday October 6, 2016. The children are doing well; they
have been taken through medical checkup and have been safely reunited
with their families,” he said.
Ayorinde, who reiterated the
government’s determination to protect lives and property, urged
residents to be more vigilant, security conscious and report all
suspected persons and objects seen within their neighbourhoods to the
appropriate security agencies.
“The determination of the government to
ensure 24-hour security of the State is evident in the huge investment
in the equipment and welfare of security agencies, especially the
police,” he said.
The Commissioner said the government had taken adequate steps to stem the tide of kidnapping in the State.
He said that in line with the directive
of the State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, plans had been concluded to
commence the demolition of illegal structures erected across the state
waterfronts and creeks.
