The South West Youth Alliance has commended the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone II, comprising Lagos and Ogun States, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, for his operational achievements and strategies in tackling insecurity across the two states.
The Alliance described Jimoh as a silent achiever whose commitment to intelligence-led policing, community engagement and operational efficiency has continued to complement the vision and mission of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu.
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Adenike Ajankekoko, the group highlighted the successes recorded through Operation Kosai and other intelligence-driven security initiatives, including the rescue of kidnapping victims along major routes such as the Shagamu-Benin Expressway, the neutralisation of armed kidnappers and the arrest of suspects linked to violent crimes.
It also disclosed that security operations under the zonal command had led to the recovery of more than 115 stolen vehicles, while proactive security arrangements during major public holidays and festive celebrations had helped strengthen the protection of lives and property.
The Alliance further praised AIG Jimoh’s emphasis on intelligence-led and community-based policing, noting his efforts to strengthen collaboration with community stakeholders, local volunteer networks and youth organisations, including the Integrity Youth Alliance.
According to the group, such partnerships are essential to building public confidence, protecting informants, improving intelligence gathering and preventing criminal activities before they escalate.
On police discipline and human rights, the Alliance said the zonal command had emphasised compliance with legal detention limits, including the applicable 24-to-48-hour requirements, as well as the availability of channels for reporting corruption and other forms of police misconduct.
It also commended the command’s commitment to impartiality and non-partisan security arrangements ahead of upcoming political activities and electoral cycles, stressing that the police must remain professional and neutral in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities.
The group said the achievements recorded under Jimoh’s leadership reflected a commitment to the broader policing agenda of IGP Disu, particularly the promotion of proactive, intelligence-led and collaborative community policing.
Describing the AIG as a officer whose results speak louder than publicity, the Alliance urged him not to be distracted by criticism or other challenges but to remain focused on strengthening security and sanitising the Zone II Command.
It called on him to sustain the zero-tolerance policy against impunity, corruption, abuse of power and unprofessional conduct, insisting that discipline, accountability and respect for citizens’ rights must remain central to policing.
The Alliance reaffirmed its readiness to support credible security initiatives and constructive partnerships with the police and other stakeholders to make Lagos and Ogun safer for residents, businesses and visitors.
