The commander also said his regime would consolidate on the achievements of his predecessors and ensure that all necessary data that would help the command enhance its service delivery remained intact.

Igwenagu urged the citizens of the state to cooperate with the agency and avail it of the necessary information that would enhance its service delivery.

“At this point, the agency is seeking the cooperation of all Lagosians by providing it with credible information on those involved in illicit drugs.

“This will enable the agency to conduct proper investigations into such activities and bring the perpetrators to face the full wrath of the law,” the commander said.
