“So, we have already mapped out plans which we keep reviewing. I am having regular meetings with my DPOs and Area Commanders as we fine tune out strategies to ensure that Lagosians do not have to worry about their safety and security.
“This is the most I can tell you at the moment as we will issue a press statement as the days draw near.”
Our correspondent gathered that operatives had been combing targeted areas and arresting suspected criminal elements especially those engaged in one-chance robbery and pickpocketing.
Also, there has been increased surveillance around major markets and bus stops across the state to instill confidence in the masses as they go about shopping for the yuletide.
