The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, has engaged stakeholders on plans to renovate some police divisions destroyed by unknown gunmen in the state.

The police commissioner undertook the project as he embarked on a security assessment visit to police divisions located in various local government areas of the state.

During the visit, Danjuma and his management team conducted a security assessment at divisions in Obowo, Ehime Mbano, Isiala Mbano, and Aboh Mbaise LGAs, which had been attacked by criminal elements.

During his visit to Aboh Mbaise, CP Danjuma met with the local government chairman, Henry Alaribe Iheukwumere, and other key stakeholders to discuss security strategies, highlighting the important role of community-based vigilante groups in partnering with the police to maintain peace and build trust.

At the Obowo Divisional Headquarters, CP Danjuma assessed the ongoing renovations and reassured the community that the station would soon be fully operational to provide essential services.

He also confirmed that additional resources would be allocated to enhance the division’s operational capacity.

In Ehime Mbano, he met with the LGA chairman, Uche Nwadu, and other stakeholders to discuss renovation plans.

Traffic was brought to a standstill on the outbound section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday morning following a trailer accident near the Berger axis in Lagos State.

The incident, which occurred in the early hours, involved a lone trailer transporting a container that overturned and completely obstructed the outward-bound carriageway.

As of the time of filing this report, vehicular movement had been halted for over an hour, with the traffic gridlock extending from the Berger Bridge to the Old Toll Gate near 7Up.

The disruption has forced some motorists to drive against traffic on the inward-bound lane, further compounding the congestion.

Emergency response teams were yet to fully clear the obstruction and restore normal flow as of press time.
