Ojodu LCDA has taken a bold step toward enhancing grassroots security with the flag-off of a Joint Tactical Squad (JTF) outpost facility, underscoring its commitment to community policing and strategic security collaboration.
The initiative, spearheaded by the Executive Chairman, Hon. David Olusegun Odunmbaku, in partnership with the Nigeria Police Force, aims to boost rapid response capabilities and safeguard lives, property, and commercial activities around the Eweobaja Ultra-Modern Market and the wider Ojodu LCDA area.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, Odunmbaku described the project—scheduled for completion within three months—as a reflection of a people-focused security strategy designed to build trust between residents and law enforcement agencies. He further revealed plans to complete the Okeira Police Station within a year, reinforcing the council’s broader security framework.
In his remarks, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, AIG Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, praised the initiative as a model for effective community policing, noting that it represents a significant step toward ensuring safer communities across local government areas.
