The Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone 2, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, on Tuesday, April 21, paid a visit to the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Logistics Command, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Abdul Suleh in Ikeja as part of efforts to enhance inter-agency synergy.
The AIG who led members of his management team to the Sam Ethnan Base, Ikeja, headquarters of the NAF’s Logistics Command, emphasised the importance of deepening collaboration between the police and other security services.
He noted the cordial relationship both services had enjoyed, adding that it helped in preventing and controlling criminality throughout his tenure as Lagos State Commissioner of Police.
According to the AIG, the police and the NAF have worked remarkably in the areas of intelligence sharing, surveillance, joint operations, and patrols, which all helped in the reduced crime rate recorded in the state.
Jimoh said the visit was also to seek the cooperation of the NAF for continued partnership, especially as his current office gives him supervisory responsibilities over Lagos and Ogun states.
The AIG noted how both services worked to ensure that issues that could have brought friction among junior officers were resolved swiftly and amicably to prevent recurrence.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olatunji Disu-led police to strengthen institutional synergy and improve investigative outcomes.
In his response, the AOC described the visit as remarkable, commending the AIG for being a professional and dedicated officer.
AVM Suleh recalled his first meeting with Jimoh as CP Lagos and how he handled the situation respectfully.
“He’s an officer who respects those who respect themselves. A true leader. When he was appointed AIG, I said I was going to visit him and today, he is here. I will still pay you that visit AIG.
“In AIG Jimoh, I have seen a thoroughbred officer, an officer who is always willing to do his best and he gives it his all,” AVM Suleh said, assuring of his support at all times.
He described as unrivalled the relationship that existed between the police and the military under Jimoh’s watch as Commissioner, noting that issues that could have caused clashes were amicably and quietly resolved
