The Police command in Lagos State has reviewed security measures at Pan-Atlantic University, Lekki, following a viral video involving masked individuals.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Fatai Tijani, led the assessment visit on Wednesday.

The visit followed footage showing two masked individuals emerging from a nearby forest, raising security concerns.

A statement by the command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the development in Lagos.

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.

Tijani also cautioned against acts of self-sabotage capable of weakening existing security arrangements.

He urged the university community to support security agencies through cooperation and timely information sharing.

The Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), 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.

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 State.

The commissioner 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.

Tijani reiterated that maintaining peace and security remained a priority for the command.
