The Governor of Lagos Babajide Sanwo-Olu has frowned upon the prevalence of cultists in the state pledging that his government would do everything possible to exterminate the criminals.
The governor stated that he would meet with security operatives in the state and would issue a red card to everyone threatening the security in Lagos state.
Sanwo-Olu made this known at the interdenominational thanksgiving organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Gbagada, Lagos on Sunday.
He vouched for the security agencies which he said would not condone kidnapping, as new strategies are in the pipeline to stop kidnapping and tackle other security challenges in the state.
He said, “This is because there are so many issues around security within Lagos and across the country. We will not sit back and fold our arms.
“We will work with the security operatives so that in the next couple of days, we will make a very definitive pronouncement on security.
“The pronouncement will include what we need to do and how we will achieve a better-secured state.
“This will help to ensure that issues around cultism, kidnapping, among others would be addressed. Lagos is home to all because it is the home for the rich and the poor."
The Governor added that he wanted to ensure that Lagos becomes the best place anyone can think on in terms of security while adding that he would strive to make use of every available resource in the state to achieve that.
