Olorundare Jimoh, the commissioner of police in Lagos State, claims that his men can stop robbers and other criminals in five minutes.
“We don’t respond to crimes for longer than ten minutes. We’ve even cut it to five more minutes. On Thursday, the police boss said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily program that once you call, we are there in less than five minutes.
Jimoh assured Lagosis that the state was safe and secure. He claims that the police intervene before causing harm to state residents.
He claimed that his men are constantly preventing the majority of Lagos’ violent crimes.
There is prompt detection to deter crimes that couldn’t be committed in order to deter other crimes.
The police commissioner said that for any would-be suspects who want to commit crimes, they should know that once they do the crime they will be apprehended. However, the majority of violent crimes in the state are stopped, according to the police commissioner.

State Police: Not a Solution
According to Jimoh, adequate funding for the Nigeria Police Force is not the answer to Nigeria’s security problems.
State police, which the Federal Government has taken on itself, are undoubtedly not the solution to our problem, according to the statement “there is no doubt that.”
He said that “a lot of people who support state police don’t consider how unitary policing is effective.”
The police commissioner added that the behavior of his men has evolved over time, and that traffic robbery has been successfully stopped in Lagos.
According to Jimoh, the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission would set the state’s electoral commission’s (LSI) level of movement restrictions for the state’s July 12, 2025, local government elections.
