The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, CP Olohundare Jimoh, on Wednesday, carried out an on-the-spot security inspection at Pan-Atlantic University in Lekki following the circulation of a viral video showing two masked individuals emerging from a forested area near the institution.
The visit, which was conducted alongside operational officers of the Lagos State Police Command, formed part of efforts to assess the security situation around the university and reassure students, staff and parents of ongoing safety measures.
During the inspection, the police commissioner met with the management of the institution and emphasised the need to strengthen security arrangements within and around the campus to prevent possible threats.
Jimoh advised the university authorities on practical strategies to improve security while warning against actions that could compromise existing safety structures.
According to a statement issued by the Lagos State Police Command, the commissioner stressed the importance of proactive security measures, particularly in the areas of perimeter surveillance, access control and cooperation with relevant security agencies.
As part of efforts to enhance security operations around the institution and neighbouring communities, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund has deployed surveillance drones to support law enforcement activities in the area.
The police said the drone deployment, facilitated by the Lagos State Government, is expected to improve aerial monitoring, intelligence gathering and crime prevention efforts within the Lekki axis.
Speaking during the visit, Jimoh reaffirmed the command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state.
He assured the management, students, staff and parents of Pan-Atlantic University of the police’s readiness to respond promptly to security concerns and maintain a safe environment for academic and lawful activities.
The commissioner also urged the institution to sustain close collaboration with security agencies and remain vigilant against emerging security threats.
“The Command remains committed to the protection of lives and property across Lagos State,” he stated, while encouraging members of the university community to promptly report suspicious activities to security agencies.
The Lagos State Police Command further reiterated its commitment to maintaining public safety and security across the state and urged residents to remain alert and provide timely information to law enforcement authorities.
Residents were also encouraged to make use of the command’s emergency lines to report suspicious movements and security-related incidents.
