- From Odita Sunday, Abuja

THEInspect­or- General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered end to incessant attacks and kidnapping­s along Lagos- Ibadan Expressway.

The IGP, who had been briefed about the security situation on the Lagos- Ibadan Expressway by Commission­ers of Police in charge of Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo State commands, ordered immediate restructur­ing of the security architectu­re on the expressway to ensure protection of life and property as well as forestall kidnapping­s and other ugly incidents.

A statement by the police spokesman, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, stated: “The IGP similarly emphasised that the police authority is not insensitiv­e to the prevailing security challenges on the LagosIbada­n Expressway, but has rather been engaged with charting a path towards decimating the security issue and strategica­lly eliminatin­g the threats along the expressway; hence the on- the- spot assessment of the blackspots along the way by the CPS of Ogun and Oyo on the directives of the IGP for enhanced safeguard of the expressway.”
