The Commissioner of Police, Ports Authority Police (Western) Command, Olanrewaju Olawale Ishola, has assured the public that the command has put in place strategies to ensure the protection of critical national infrastructure at various ports in the country. This comes ahead of the proposed protest on June 12.
The ports under protection include: Apapa Port, Tincan Island Port, Lekki Deep-Sea Port, and other lighter terminals.
The command in a press statement issued on Tuesday by the Public Relations Officer, ASP Isaac Hundeyin, assured of free flow of traffic in and out of all port complexes to prevent vehicular clustering and ensure the smooth operation of port activities.
CP Olanrewaju warned miscreants to steer clear of the ports environment, stating that any form of road blockage, harassment, or intimidation of law-abiding citizens will not be tolerated. He encouraged those doing legitimate business at the ports to remain law-abiding and assured that the command will not hesitate to bring to book anyone who infringes on the fundamental human rights of others.
He added that the command is committed to maintaining law and order in the ports area.
