Lagos, Nigeria — The newly appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 2, Olohundare Jimoh, has vowed to enforce strict discipline within the force, declaring zero tolerance for corruption, human rights abuses, and misconduct across Lagos and Ogun states.
Jimoh made the commitment during his inaugural address at the Zone 2 Police Command headquarters on Monday, shortly after assuming office as the 34th AIG.
Describing his appointment as a call to greater service, the AIG expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, for entrusting him with the leadership of one of Nigeria’s most strategic policing zones.
He подчеркed the critical importance of Zone 2—covering Lagos and Ogun—citing its dense population and commercial significance as key to Nigeria’s security and economic stability.
Jimoh stressed that effective policing in the zone would hinge on discipline, professionalism, and robust collaboration among officers and stakeholders. He pledged to deepen intelligence-led policing, enhance operational efficiency, and prioritize proactive crime prevention alongside rapid response to emerging threats.
“We will continue to work harder to remove the fear of crime from the minds of the people,” he assured residents, while promising closer coordination with Commissioners of Police in both states.
On human rights, the AIG issued a stern warning against unlawful detention, brutality, and abuse of office, noting that any officer found culpable would face strict disciplinary measures. He emphasized that suspects must not be held beyond legally permitted limits except as authorised by law.
Jimoh further declared an uncompromising stance against corruption and indiscipline within the command, urging officers to uphold accountability and professionalism at all times.
He also called for stronger partnerships with community leaders, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders, urging residents to support the police with timely and credible information.
Warning criminal elements to desist, Jimoh assured that intensified operations would be carried out to ensure offenders are brought to justice.

He described their promotion from Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) as recognition of merit, dedication, and years of service.
The promoted officers—Abel Ademola, Aderonke Bakare, Sola Knight, Raji Ganiyu, Iliazu Lawal, and Samuel Ijachi—expressed gratitude to the police leadership and pledged renewed commitment to maintaining public order and combating crime across the zone.
