'Tighten security in Lagos', Lagosians tell Fayoade
In chats with Legit.ng, some Lagos residents expressed their wish vis-à-vis security in the state.
A journalist, Dorcas Akanni said:
"I want the new police commissioner to tackle highway robbery. Even though I have never been robbed, it scares me to death and I can only imagine what those who have gone through it will be feeling."
For Gabriel Alabi, a social media strategist. Fayoade should take the battle to traffic robbers.
His words:
"I'd like him to keep Lagos safe in the late hours of the day, especially for those coming from work in the evening. His men should flush out those miscreants that rob people in the traffic."
Bhadmus Obafemi is not putting too much hope on the new Lagos security chief. He calls for self-protection, albeit through legal means.
He said:
"If one puts expectations on these people, they will still fail us. We are practically left with protecting ourselves in whatsoever legal way we can."
