Ikorodu West LCDA Chairman Boosts Security with New Utility Vehicle for Owutu Police Division.

In a decisive step toward strengthening grassroots security and enhancing rapid response operations, the Executive Chairman of Ikorodu West LCDA, Sulaimon Kazeem Olanrewaju, has presented a brand-new operational utility vehicle to the Nigeria Police Force, Owutu Division in Ikorodu, Lagos.

The official handover ceremony, held on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the council secretariat, underscored the administration’s continued commitment to safeguarding lives and property within the community.

Speaking at the event, the Chairman who also doubles as the Chief Security Officer of Ikorodu West LCDA highlighted the critical role of security in governance and community development. According to him, “uncommon performance cannot exist without a healthy security environment,” stressing that mobility remains a key factor in effective policing.

“I know that mobility is key to saving lives. In the same way, the police need mobility to protect our community from crime. This vehicle serves as a booster to our local security network. We are not just giving a bus; we are ensuring that when our people call, the response is swift and efficient,” he stated.

The initiative, he noted, aligns with the Renewed Hope agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Greater Lagos vision championed by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, reinforcing a collaborative approach to governance and security at all levels.
