The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Lateef Ibirogba, and the Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, on Saturday assured Lagosians that the state was doing everything to guarantee their safety against terrorists.

They urged residents to pay no attention to the alleged threats by some groups to terrorise the state.

According to reports, Ibirogba and Bello, who with security personnel underwent a search operation under bridges and black spots in Surulere local government, said security agencies in the state were working on intelligence reports.

“I will say categorically that Lagos is safe, Lagosians should not entertain any fear. We have done all we are supposed to do to ensure that we live safely. Lagosians should go about their normal duties without entertaining any fear.

“The idea of Boko Haram coming to attack Lagos is nothing to scare anybody. This is a proactive government and Lagosians have confidence in their government.

“Lagos is home to everybody and I don’t think anybody in the right frame of mind will want to extend act of terrorism or violence to Lagos,” Ibirogba said.

Bello reportedly said the government decided it was necessary to clear up under the bridge especially in Ojuelegba and relocate the transporters packing there as an attempt to get rid of devious elements masking under the bridge to execute crimes.

From now on, the Kick Against Indiscipline, KAI unit is to take over the spot to ensure that those contaminating the place did not return, Bello added.

Also reports following the suspected Iranian linked terrorists, security at the state governor and his deputy’s gates has increased and strict instructions about visiting guests were also administered.
