The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Headquarters, Lagos, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, has assured that justice would be pursued without fear or favour, irrespective of an individual’s social status, position or class.
He gave the assurance while playing host to the National President of the Ilorin Emirates Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), Retired Assistant Comptroller General of Immigration, Ayo AbdulMalik, alongside members of the union during a visit to the Police Zonal Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos.
Jimoh reaffirmed his commitment to the professional discharge of his constitutional responsibilities in accordance with the rule of law, respect for fundamental human rights and the principles of justice and fairness.
He, however, expressed appreciation to the National President and members of the IEDPU delegation for the courtesy visit and the goodwill extended to him.
In a statement, the Police Public Relations Officer of the zone, Gbenga Afolayan, quoted the AIG to have acknowledged the union’s longstanding interest in his career and expressed gratitude for its continued support and encouragement.
He said the recognition was not only an honour but also a reminder of the responsibility that comes with public service.
The statement said Zone 2 Headquarters remains resolute in the discharge of its constitutional mandate and will continue to work with relevant stakeholders to safeguard lives and property, maintain public order and promote a safe and secure environment for all residents of Lagos and Ogun States.
AbdulMalik, in his remarks during the visit, described AIG Jimoh as a disciplined, principled and dutiful officer whose professional conduct reflects the values of good character and responsible citizenship.
He noted that these qualities are consistent with the moral standards associated with Barakat Community Secondary School, Ilorin, Kwara State, one of the schools IEDPU established where the AIG had his secondary education.
The National President emphasized that the school is committed not only to academic excellence but also to instill good virtues, sound societal values, moral discipline and exemplary character in its students.
AbdulMalik, therefore, expressed confidence in the AIG Jimoh’s capacity to discharge his professional responsibilities with diligence and integrity, adding that he would always uphold what is right and act in accordance with the rule of law.
He thanked the Almighty Allah for His continued grace and blessings upon the life and career of AIG Jimoh.
The IEPDU President also commended the AIG for his contributions to the development and progress of Ilorin, and for the leadership role he has played in maintaining relative peace and security across Lagos and Ogun States.
This medium reports that the visit provided an opportunity for the delegation to appreciate AIG Jimoh, a prominent son of Ilorin, for his distinguished career, professionalism and continued commitment to the service of the nation.
