Mrs Ekundayo reiterated that the command would not relent in protecting national assets and the lives and property of the citizens.

“I promised to consolidate on the predecessor’s achievement and work with other security agencies to actualise a crime-free state,” the new commandant said.

The new commandant commissioned a tactical operational base at The Inter-Change, Sagamu built by V-Peg Energy and Gas company, as one of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects.
