The Lagos Commissioner of Police (CP), Abiodun Alabi, has debunked reports that Lagos was on partial lockdown over threats by terrorists to attack the State.
Alabi, who attended a stakeholders’ forum on Police Accountability quarterly meeting and awards at Ikeja, was quoted to have said the state was on partial lockdown by security agencies.
But during a telephone conversation with The Nation on Thursday morning, CP Alabi emphasised that he referred to the vigilance at entry and exit points into Lagos. “What I said was misrepresented. I never said that Lagos is on partial lockdown. I was answering a question and I assured the people that measures have already been taking by putting stop and search operations at the entry and exit points of Lagos.
