The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has conducted an on-the-spot security assessment at Pan-Atlantic University, Lekki, following concerns triggered by a viral video showing two masked individuals emerging from a forested area adjoining the institution.
The visit, carried out alongside operational personnel of the command, formed part of efforts to evaluate the security situation around the university and reassure students, staff, parents and other stakeholders of ongoing measures to guarantee safety on campus.
During the assessment, the police commissioner met with the university’s management and emphasised the importance of strengthening the institution’s security architecture to prevent potential threats.
He advised the management on practical measures to enhance security within and around the campus, while cautioning against actions that could weaken existing security arrangements.
According to a statement by the Lagos State Police Command, CP Jimoh highlighted the need for proactive security measures, particularly in the areas of perimeter protection, access control and sustained collaboration with relevant security agencies.
As part of efforts to reinforce security operations in the area, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund has deployed surveillance drones to support law enforcement activities around the university and neighbouring communities.
The initiative, facilitated by the Lagos State Government, is expected to enhance aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering and crime prevention efforts within the axis.
Reaffirming the command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property, CP Jimoh assured the university community of the police’s readiness to respond promptly to security concerns and maintain a safe environment conducive to teaching, learning and other lawful activities.
He also urged the institution to sustain close collaboration with security agencies and encouraged members of the university community to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities.
The Lagos State Police Command reiterated its commitment to public safety across the state and called on residents to provide credible and timely information to support security operations.
