“In Lagos, there have been incidents that we have had, and part of the strategy is that all of us need to speak up. See something, say something.

“You are in traffic, roll up your glass if you have to. Make sure that you are not standing by the street side and holding a phone and talking without being security conscious. These are just very simple tips. You don’t enter a strange vehicle,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu explained that his administration was taking steps to improve Lagos’ security infrastructure.
