The police command in Lagos has stepped into Pan-Atlantic University security issue which came to light on Wednesday following a viral video showing masked individuals in the school premises in Lekki area of Lagos State.
The police commissioner, Fatai Tijani, led the assessment visit on Wednesday.
The visit followed footage showing two masked persons emerging from a nearby forest, raising security concerns.
A statement by the command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the development in Lagos.
Mr Tijani inspected the university’s security arrangements alongside senior operational officers during the visit.
He engaged the university management and emphasised the need for stronger security structures around the campus.
The police commissioner advised the institution to improve perimeter security and strengthen access control measures.
He said proactive steps were essential to prevent potential threats and protect students, staff and visitors.
Mr Tijani also cautioned against acts of self-sabotage that could weaken existing security arrangements.
He urged the university community to support security agencies by cooperating and sharing information in a timely manner.
The Lagos State Security Trust Fund, supported by the state government, has deployed surveillance drones.
The drones will boost aerial monitoring, intelligence gathering and crime prevention around the university environment.
The deployment is aimed at strengthening security within the Lekki axis amid emerging concerns.
Mr Tijani reassured the university management, students, staff and parents of the command’s commitment. He said the police would continue protecting lives and property across Lagos.
The police chief urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security agencies. He encouraged residents to provide credible information through the command’s emergency lines.
The numbers are 07061019374, 08065154338, 08063299264, 08039344870 and 09168630929.
Mr Tijani reiterated that maintaining peace and security remained a priority for the command.
