“As an administration that places the safety and security of our people above all else, we have taken these concerns seriously and immediately engaged the relevant security agencies,” Olowa stated.

The chairman urged residents to remain vigilant and support ongoing security efforts by reporting suspicious movements, unusual activities, or security concerns through the appropriate channels.
However, he cautioned against any form of self-help, warning that residents should not take the law into their own hands.
“No individual or group should be subjected to harassment, intimidation, profiling, or any form of unlawful treatment,” he said.
Olowa stressed that security matters should be left to duly authorised agencies with the legal mandate and capacity to investigate and address potential threats.
He further encouraged residents to remain calm and continue with their daily activities while upholding the values of peace, tolerance, and lawful conduct that have long defined the Ibeju-Lekki community.
The chairman reassured the public that the local government would continue working closely with security agencies to ensure the safety of all residents.
“Be assured that your government remains vigilant and fully committed to the safety and security of all residents,” he added.
The advisory comes amid heightened public sensitivity to security matters nationwide and reflects ongoing efforts by local authorities to maintain peace and public confidence within one of Lagos State’s fastest-growing economic corridors.
