Stakeholders laud Lagos police boss for accountability

THE Stakeholders Forum On Police Accountability (SFOPA) has applauded the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, over his accountability policy in policing. The group stated that the policy has largely accounted for improved public perception of the police in Lagos since his assumption of office.

National Coordinator of Network On Police Reform In Nigeria (NOPRIN), Okechukwu Nwanguma, made this known at the inauguration of the forum in Lagos yesterday. The forum, formed with the purpose of providing a platform for regular engagement with the police on issues of police accountability, was inaugurated by Imohimi at the command’s headquarters, Ikeja.

While reeling out the achievement of the police boss, Nwanguma noted that Edgal has broke new grounds in the area of crime control, community engagement, and increased police presence in strategic locations across the state. According to him, these and other innovative crime fighting strategies have resulted to drastic reduction of crime in the state.
