Recall that the Lagos State Police command under the leadership of CP Hakeem Odumosu warned at the beginning of the year that it was not going to tolerate any form of criminality in the State.


This has prompted the police boss to inject new policies and ideas that would improve the overall security architecture of the State.


An ICT/Tracking Unit at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba-Lagos, was recently established to adopt scientific and forensic measures of unravelling crimes and criminality in Lagos State. The unit, named D23, headed by SP Kasumu Rilwan, a computer scientist, has been instrumental to the landmark achievements and many feats recorded by the command under the watch of CP Hakeem Odumosu.


This was important in the latest arrest a certain Chidinma Ojukwu, the prime suspect  in the murder of Mr Michael Usifo Ataga, on 23rd, June, 2021.
