The police have been commended for their efforts to curb crime nationwide, especially their handling of cult clashes in Ajah, Lekki Peninsula area of Lagos State that left some people dead. “But for the swift response of the police who checked the criminals, the situation may have worsened,” president of the Neo-Black Movement (NBM) of Africa, Lekki Zone, Barrister Otono Kazeem, said in a statement. He noted that “despite the financial constraints of the police and other odds and hazards of the job, our policemen have distinguished themselves as one of the best security forces in the world,” he said, while strongly condemning the killings in Ajah and urging the police to ensure that all the culprits are brought to justice.
