The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, AIG Olorundare Moshood Jimoh, has promised residents of Lagos and Ogun states better protection, saying the command will double down on intelligence-led policing and community partnership.
Jimoh made the pledge on Monday at the Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, shortly after receiving the Outstanding Excellence in Security Leadership Award 2026 from the Integrity Youth Alliance, Abuja.
Presenting the award, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the group, Kehinde Adewole, said Jimoh was honoured for “consistent professionalism, accountability, and results-driven policing.”
According to Adewole, the AIG’s record includes the recovery of over 115 stolen vehicles, successful prosecution of suspected cultists, and maintaining incident-free major celebrations during his tenure as Lagos State Commissioner of Police and now as AIG. 
He also cited the strategic deployment of 250 officers and 50 tactical vehicles to flashpoints across both states as key to the recognition.
In his response, Jimoh dedicated the award to his officers.
“This recognition is not for me alone. It belongs to every officer and man of Zone 2 who works daily to keep our people safe,” he said.
“We must not let this award make us complacent. Instead, it should spur us to do even more for the people we serve.”
Drawing from his experience as former CP Lagos, Jimoh described Lagos and Ogun as the economic heartbeat of Nigeria and said securing the corridors between both states remains a top priority. He pledged to strengthen surveillance, deepen intelligence gathering, and improve rapid response.
The AIG also called on residents to keep partnering with the police by sharing timely information. He urged members of the public to report misconduct without fear.
“Our doors are open,” Jimoh stated. “If you see any unprofessional conduct by any officer, including senior officers, please report through the proper channels. We will act.”
Rights activist and public commentator, Segun Awosanya aka Segalink, who was present, commended the AIG. He credited the relative calm in Lagos to teamwork, data-driven policing, and stronger community engagement.
“The police mirror the society,” Awosanya said. “What matters is that there are internal systems to check excesses, no matter the rank.”
Jimoh further praised the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, for ongoing reforms aimed at better training, public trust, and community policing. He assured that Zone 2 will sustain stakeholder engagements to keep crime in check.
