Determined to further empower the police with a view to strengthening the security apparatus within the council, Epe Local Government Council Chairman, Princess Surah Animashaun, has donated two patrol vehicles to the Police Tactical Team.
Princess Animashaun, at the event that took place at the council secretariat, Ita-Marun, Epe, said the gesture was to enable the police to enhance its operations by combing notorious areas that could serve as hideouts for hoodlums.
Handling the vehicles to the Commander of the Police Tactical Team, she commended the police for the great work it is doing to ensure the safety of lives and properties.
She emphasised that security remains the heartbeat of her administration, stressing that Epe local government must remain a place where residents, businesses, and visitors feel safe and protected at all times.

Princess Animashaun described the donation as a clear demonstration of support and partnership with security agencies working round the clock to keep the community safe and peaceful.
“Epe is known to be one of the most peaceful councils in Lagos state and in a bid to sustain this feat, the present administration deemed it fit to donate the vehicles to the police to strengthen its security mechanism.
“There is no way the council would have enjoyed this level of peace without the police, and I am convinced that the force deserves more support for them to continue to achieve the desired results. These patrol vans will further fortify the police in patrolling notorious routes as well as nooks and crannies where nefarious activities are rampant with a view to nipping such in the bud,” she said.
Responding, the Commander of the Tactical Team, CSP Nosa Igbineweka, expressed appreciation for the timely and strategic intervention, describing it as a rare benevolence, especially at a time when there is shortage of fund everywhere.
