Miscreants attacking Lagosians are not hungry people, but opportunistic criminals - Governor Sanwo-Olu

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reacted to the unrest witnessed in the last few days in some Mainland communities of Lagos state. 

Speaking to newsmen after an emergency Security Council meeting in which all the various heads of the state security agencies were present, Sanwo-Olu said over 100 suspects have been arrested in the last 72 hours on account of disturbances. 

Sanwo-Olu accused the miscreants of being opportunistic criminals who are taking advantage of the lockdown order in the state to unleash mayhem. 

Governor Sanwo-Olu disclosed that the state was in constant communication with the Federal Government on the security issue, and he also confirmed the deployment of DIG Peter Ogunyanwo as the Intervention Squad Coordinator to curtail and stem the perceived and actual threats of violence in Lagos.
