Police spokeswoman Yemisi Opalola disclosed this in a statement on Friday, saying Mr Olokode gave the assurance at the inauguration of police officers’ mess in Osogbo.
“The CP, AIG Olawale Olokode, while commissioning the newly built ultra-modern Police Officers mess, at Oke-Fia, Osogbo, on Tuesday, assured the people of the state, on behalf of inspector general of police, IGP Usman Baba Alkali, of adequate and visibility policing,” the police said. “He also appreciated and congratulated his senior police officers that God used to build the edifice for their quick positive response, strong support and assistance, which are indispensable to the completion and commissioning of the structure. He stated that the building would serve as a relaxation centre for officers and enhance good productivity.”
The statement reported the police chief as saying the inauguration marked an important milestone in making the police and public closer to enhancing effective and efficient policing in our vicinity.
It said the AIG requested more support from the public to give timely and factual information to the police and other security agencies to reduce crimes to a minimal level.
