The IGP while speaking with newsmen after the meeting disclosed that he was in the state to assess the level of damage on police properties.

In a statement entitled, ‘Sanwo-Olu Receives Police IG Over Coordinated Arson In Lagos’, Sanwo-Olu’s Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, said the Governor commiserated with Adamu over the mob attacks on police personnel and burning of their stations.

“Sanwo-Olu intimated the IGP on the move by the state government to rebuild the razed police stations and offer scholarship awards to the children of the officers killed in the violence.”

Akosile also quoted Adamu as saying, “Lagos was the epicentre where the End SARS protest took place and the number of destruction in the subsequent violence was more in Lagos than any other part. I came to commiserate with the Governor and people of the State. The destruction they suffered was uncalled for.”

“The second leg of my visit is to see the police stations destroyed and boost the morale of our men in Lagos. We don’t want them to be demoralised by the event in which they suffered personal attacks. Policemen are trained to take such pain. Now that the event has happened, it shouldn’t discourage us from performing our constitutional duties.”
