During the engagement, CP Tijani Fatai emphasised the need for the institution to continuously strengthen its security architecture through improved perimeter controls, better access management, and closer collaboration with law enforcement agencies.
He cautioned against any acts of self-sabotage that could undermine ongoing efforts while reassuring staff, students, and parents of the command’s unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property.
In direct support of police operations in the area, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund has deployed surveillance drones to enhance aerial monitoring, intelligence gathering, and crime prevention around the university.
This swift intervention reflects broader state government initiatives to tackle emerging security threats in educational institutions.
The visit comes amid heightened public sensitivity to security issues in Lagos, where isolated incidents can quickly spark widespread concern through social media.
While no immediate threat materialised from the viral footage, the proactive response demonstrates a commitment to vigilance and community reassurance in a state that continues to face urban security challenges.
CP Tijani Fatai urged residents to remain alert and share timely, credible information with authorities through dedicated emergency lines.
Religious and community leaders have previously commended similar collaborative approaches that blend official policing with local support.
