Fayoade also assured residents of Lagos State that one of his major agenda is to fight cultism, traffic robbery and kidnapping among other prominent cases in the state, adding that the mandate of the special squad was to sniff out cult members from their hideouts.

He noted that the command is working to ensure that the economic activities and standard of living of the people are improved because a crime free environment will make the state buoyant.
