The Police in Lagos has allayed the fears of the general public, particularly residents of Lekki-Ikoyi axis on the viral fake news that Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge has become a kidnappers’ den and security threat to people who live in the area as well as those plying the route.
A statement signed by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi (Mnipr), Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, noted that the Command was taken aback with the false viral news on social media platforms that the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge is dangerous and should be avoided.
CSP Adejobi stated that there was never any kidnapping or information relating to such incident in the area according to the records of the Command, either on the 12th March, 2021, as being speculated, or before the date.He said the rumours are being peddled by mischief makers for reasons best known to them.

The Public Affairs Officer asserted that the link bridge is being safeguarded by the Rapid Response Squad’s team and Police operatives attached to Ikoyi Division on 24-hour basis, in addition to having a makeshift structure as an operational room at a strategic location

As well as the deployment of one serviceable Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) to complement the security arrangement in the area.

Adejobi said, “The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has appealed to the general public to disregard the news and move freely on all roads and in all areas of Lagos State as no road or area has been declared a ‘No Go Area’ in the State”.
