FOU Zone 'A' Calls for Enhanced Security Collaboration

The Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone ‘A’, has emphasized the need for stronger intelligence sharing and operational collaboration among security agencies to address smuggling and trans-border crime in Lagos and surrounding areas. Deputy Comptroller Oladapo Afeni made this call during a familiarization tour of various security and law enforcement agencies in Lagos.

The tour aimed to strengthen relationships and explore cooperation in intelligence gathering, information exchange, and joint operations. Afeni visited the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters and met with Commissioner of Police Tijani Fatai, where he highlighted the importance of collaboration to prevent criminal exploitation during the election period.

He noted that crime rates typically rise as elections approach, necessitating closer synergy among agencies. Afeni also visited the Nigerian Army’s 81 Division, where he met General Officer Commanding Major General Adebayo Abdulrahman Babalola, who stressed the importance of joint efforts in combating crime and urged agencies to avoid administrative bottlenecks.
