Led by the Agency’s Chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, the operation began in the early hours of each day, around 1:30 a.m., and covered several identified hotspots based on intelligence and residents’ reports.
Areas targeted included Victoria Island, Osborne Road, Coastal Road, Chevron, First and Second Roundabout, Obalende, Ikota, Lekki Phase 1 and 2, Ikoyi, Falomo Bridge, Law School, Eko Hotel axis, Oniru Beach, as well as Ketu, Isale Oja, AP Roundabout, and railway corridors in Agege.

Commenting on the operation, CSP Akerele reaffirmed the Agency’s dedication to protecting lives, property, and the environment throughout Lagos.
“Anyone attempting to disrupt the peace and security of our communities should desist or be ready to face legal consequences. Our efforts to maintain a safer and cleaner Lagos will continue,” he said.
He further noted that the exercise is part of a broader, continuous initiative by the Agency to conduct routine enforcement throughout the week, focusing on criminal hideouts, illegal structures, and notorious black spots.
