This followed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s visit to the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hakeem Odumosu on Wednesday at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja where he went to boost the morale of officers who had demoralised by events of the past week when officers and their stations were targeted by hoodlums.
