CITIZENS COMPASS— Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday, conducted security assessment as suspected bandits were spotted at Pan-Atlantic University (PAU), Lekki, Lagos.

The bandits were spotted on Tuesday night prompting the school authorities to issue a directive that all students should remain indoors.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Tijani Fatai, led operational personnel on an on-the-spot security assessment visit to the University following a viral video recorded and circulated, depicting two masked individuals emerging from a forest area adjoining the institution.

During the visit, the Commissioner engaged with the university management and emphasised the need to continuously strengthen the institution’s security architecture. He advised on practical measures to tighten security across the institution. He also stressed the importance of avoiding acts of self-sabotage that could undermine existing security efforts.

As part of efforts to support police operations within the axis, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) has deployed surveillance drones in response to the situation. The deployment, facilitated by the Lagos State Government, is aimed at strengthening aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering, and crime prevention within and around the area.

CP Tijani reassured the management, staff, students, and parents of the Command’s unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property across Lagos State. He urged the institution to take proactive steps towards improving perimeter security, enhancing access control measures, and maintaining close collaboration with security agencies.
