PUBLIC SECURITY ADVISORY TO RESIDENTS OF IBEJU LEKKI
My dear residents of Ibeju Lekki,
The attention of the Local Government has been drawn to reports and concerns regarding the recent arrival of certain groups of persons into parts of our communities.
As an administration that places the safety and security of our people above all else, we have taken these concerns seriously and immediately engaged the relevant security agencies. I am pleased to inform residents that security authorities at both the state and local levels are fully aware of the situation and are actively monitoring developments. Necessary intelligence and security measures are being implemented to ensure the continued peace and stability of our communities.
At a time when security concerns remain a national challenge, it is important that we remain vigilant and support lawful efforts aimed at safeguarding lives and property. Residents are therefore encouraged to promptly report any suspicious movements or activities through the appropriate channels.
However, I strongly advise against taking the law into your own hands. No individual or group should be subjected to harassment, intimidation, profiling, or any form of unlawful treatment. Security matters are best handled by the appropriate authorities, who have the legal mandate and capacity to do so.
I urge everyone to remain calm, go about their lawful activities, and continue to uphold the values of peace, tolerance, and lawful conduct that define Ibeju Lekki. Be assured that your government remains vigilant and fully committed to the safety and security of all residents.
Together, we will continue to keep Ibeju Lekki safe, peaceful, and secure for all.
Hon. (Engr.) Abdullahi Sesan Olowa*
