The Ogun State Police Command has intensified security measures at the four intersections of the Sagamu Interchange to ensure the safety of residents and commuters.
This follows recent concerns over security in the area, including reports circulating on social media about an incident on the 21st of March, 2025.
While no such incident was formally reported at any police station, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, PhD, has proactively led efforts to reinforce security at the Sagamu interchange.
As part of these measures, personnel from the Quick Response Squad, OP Mesa, and Mobile Police Squadrons 71 have been strategically stationed at key locations, including under the bridge, at the roundabouts, and along the inward and outward routes of the four intersections.
A two-hour assement of the area conducted by the Commissioner of Police, revealed illegal trading activities and presence of touts. Earlier in the day, a criminal hideout was discovered in surrounding bush at the interchange and three suspects were arrested.
Thereafter, an immediate disbandment of illegal trading activities under the interchange bridge was carried out
To further enhance security at the interchange, the Commissioner of Police has engaged members of the transport Union to redirect traffic towards well-lit and secure areas.
While Ogun State remains relatively peaceful, the police command urges citizens to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to criminal activities.
As a precautionary measure, commuters are advised to plan their travels early to minimise security risks.
With increased security presence, collaborative efforts of sister security agencies, and continued support of his excellency the governor of Ogun State, citizens are assured of the safety of our highways.
