Responding on behalf of the Police authorities, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Regal, said: “You are our most valuable partners in fighting crime in the state.

“You can imagine the confidence the public will have when they approach divisional headquarters and areas commands and see they are lit.
