Dear Lagos,

We mourn the lives we have lost across the state and to the families that we could have better protected, I sincerely apologise.

To the police and law enforcement that have lost members, we mourn these important members of our community.

“On the false report of removal of CCTV, LCC has confirmed that what was removed were infrared car scanners. Evidence from the surveillance cameras (which wasn’t removed) will be used to aid investigations into the incident and a panel will be constituted to probe the shooting. I understand that tempers are high but we are beginning to get a clearer picture of the things that led us to this point and I want to ask us to be circumspect to avoid further losses and triggering other sentiments. Do not encourage thugs through parody and inciteful words,” he added.
