In an exclusive interview with Societal Concerns Media Network, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abayomi Faniyi of the Area G command emphasized the critical role of proactive policing and community partnership in maintaining peace and security within the region. ACP Faniyi highlighted the command’s swift response capabilities, particularly in safeguarding key installations like NEPA facilities, and credited the community’s cooperation for the current state of calm.
“We don’t joke in terms of response when situations arise,” stated ACP Faniyi. He explained that his team has been vigilant in patrolling and securing crucial infrastructure, working closely with local businesses and residents. The ACP noted that the lack of negative incidents can be attributed to the community’s willingness to communicate and share information with the police, allowing them to address potential issues before they escalate.
ACP Faniyi praised the decision of local residents to heed government assurances and refrain from protesting, which he believes has contributed to the peaceful atmosphere. He underscored the importance of community policing, where officers maintain open lines of communication with the public, fostering a sense of partnership and mutual understanding.
The Area G command, under ACP Faniyi’s leadership, has been actively engaging with community leaders, including religious and traditional figures, to build trust and ensure a collaborative approach to security. “We appreciate those who have been assisting in our work,” he said, acknowledging the contributions of community members in helping to maintain law and order.
As the interview concluded, ACP Faniyi called on the public to continue supporting the police in their efforts to provide quality service and ensure justice and safety. He reassured the community that the police are committed to their duty and ready to respond to any situation that may arise. This proactive and cooperative approach has been key to the command’s success in maintaining a peaceful and secure environment.
