President Muhammadu Buhari will be in Lagos on Friday 27th November, 2015 to commission some security equipment in the state.
The Lagos State Government had recently acquired three helicopters and other gadgets to fight rising insecurity in the state.
According to a statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, the equipment would be formally presented to the Rapid Response Squad on Friday at an occasion to be chaired by President Muhammadu Buahri.
“President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit will witness the rebranding of the RRS as the state’s no-nonsense police response squad against crime and criminality. The President will also join Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in handing over the brand new patrol equipment to the police authorities in the state.
“The equipment to be handed over include: three helicopters, two patrol boats, 100 motorcycles, 13 BM power bikes, 60 Ford salon cars, 55 Ford Rangers, 40 Toyota salon cars, 10 Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs, 31 Armored Personnel Carriers, as well as police uniforms and other kits.
“With these security equipment, the governor has demonstrated his firm commitment and ability to safeguard the lives and property of every Lagosian.
“The government is convinced that this gesture will further boost the morale and capacity of the police, RRS and other security agencies in the state. We believe that this will send a clear signal that criminals and armed robbers no longer have a hiding place in the state,” he said.
