LAGOS \u2013 The Lagos State Police Command, yesterday, said it had recovered over 1,000 arms and ammunition since it started its mop-up exercise, last month.<\/p>\n

The exercise,\u00a0 aimed at checking the proliferation of arms during, before and after the polls, according to spokesman of the command, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, formed part of the command\u2019s strategy and preparedness for the general elections.<\/p>\n

Vulnerable points, according to Jinadu, were raided, leading to the recovery.<\/p>\n

He made the disclosure while parading a suspected kidnapper, whose attempt was foiled and another robbery suspect.<\/p>\n

In the month of February alone, Jinadu said a total of 595 ammunition were recovered from various criminal hideouts, while\u00a0 the remaining\u00a0 were recovered this month.<\/p>\n

The command according to him, \u201cis working assiduously to ensure\u00a0 a violence-free election in the state. First, we had intensified our patrol and stop and search routine, while general raids of vulnerable points and black spots had been carried out, with\u00a0 criminals arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner of Police, Mr. Yusuf Alkali, on his part, had met with other security agencies in order to have a symbiotic relationship towards actualiing this goal. The CP had also met with stakeholders in the election, where he urged them to play according to the rules of the game.\u201d Jinadu added.<\/p>\n
