AIG Jimoh vows crackdown on corruption, rights abuses in Zone 2
The newly promoted Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Zone 2 Police Command, Lagos, Mr Olohundare Jimoh, has pledged zero tolerance for human rights abuses, corruption, and misconduct within the police in Lagos and Ogun.
Jimoh, who assumed duty as the 34th AIG, made the pledge during his inaugural address at the command headquarters on Monday.
He described his appointment as a call to service and expressed gratitude to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Olatunji Disu, for the opportunity to lead one of the country’s most strategic police formations.
According to him, Zone 2 plays a critical role in Nigeria’s security and economic stability due to its high population density and commercial significance.
He said effective policing in the zone requires discipline, professionalism, and strong collaboration among officers and stakeholders.
Jimoh pledged to strengthen intelligence-driven policing strategies and improve operational efficiency across both states.
He added that his administration would focus on proactive crime prevention and rapid response to security threats.
He also promised enhanced coordination with the Commissioners of Police in Lagos and Ogun.
The AIG assured residents that efforts would be intensified to reduce crime and ensure public safety.
“We will continue to work harder to remove the fear of crime from the minds of the people,” he said.
Jimoh stressed that his leadership would uphold strict compliance with human rights standards and the rule of law.
He warned that any officer involved in unlawful detention, brutality, or abuse of office would face disciplinary action.
He said suspects must not be detained beyond legally permitted limits except as authorised by law.
The police boss declared zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline within the command.
He urged officers to uphold professionalism, discipline, and accountability in their duties.
Jimoh called for stronger collaboration with community leaders, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders.
He also urged residents to support the police with credible and timely information.
The AIG warned criminal elements to desist or face intensified operations, assuring that offenders would be brought to justice.
As part of the day’s activities, Jimoh decorated six newly promoted and urged them to uphold professionalism, discipline, and hard work.
He described their elevation from Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) as a reward for merit, dedication, and years of service.
He charged the officers to see their new rank as a call to greater responsibility in crime prevention and maintaining public order across Lagos and Ogun.
The promoted officers—Abel Ademola, Aderonke Bakare, Sola Knight, Raji Ganiyu, Iliazu Lawal, and Samuel Ijachi—thanked the police leadership and pledged renewed commitment to duty.
