The Lagos State Police Command has taken action by ordering heightened security measures along the Mile 12–Ketu axis, following claims of robbery attacks reported on social media. The alert was initiated by an X user named @lollypeezle, who described an alarming incident where armed youths were allegedly robbing vehicles in the vicinity of Mile 12. In her post, she expressed concerns about the safety of motorists, especially given the presence of two police stations in the area, yet reported a notable lack of security against such criminal activities.

In response to the post, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, asserted that the Commissioner of Police has mandated an immediate increase in security efforts in the Mile 12 area. Adebisi reiterated the police’s commitment to addressing the situation, reinforcing the roles of the Area Commander, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), and tactical teams in ensuring safety for the public. This swift reaction indicates the police's readiness to tackle crime proactively as it arises, particularly in areas known for increased criminal activity.

The decision to enhance security operations comes amidst growing concerns over public safety in urban areas like Lagos, where incidents of robbery can create widespread panic. This situation raises significant implications for law enforcement's approach to community safety, emphasizing the need for collaboration with citizens in reporting criminal activities, and highlighting the importance of local policing in effectively maintaining order in highly congested regions like Mile 12 and Ketu.
