CP Jimoh Deploys Anti-Crime Patrol on Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway
The Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has launched a dedicated anti-crime patrol operation along the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road as part of renewed efforts to curb criminal activities and enhance safety on the strategic corridor.
The initiative, unveiled as a proactive security measure, involves the deployment of four specialized patrol teams tasked with maintaining round-the-clock surveillance and rapid response operations along the highway. The teams are expected to operate 24 hours daily, ensuring continuous visibility policing and immediate intervention in the event of any security breach.
Speaking during the launch, CP Jimoh emphasized the importance of securing the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road, describing it as a critical infrastructure corridor with growing economic and social significance. He noted that the intensified patrols are aimed at deterring criminal elements, preventing highway robberies, and guaranteeing the safety of commuters, residents, and businesses operating along the route.

The newly deployed patrol teams will complement existing security arrangements already in place. Since December 2025, several patrol vehicles have been stationed at strategic points along the highway to strengthen law enforcement presence and improve response time to distress calls.
According to police authorities, the enhanced security architecture is part of a broader strategy to sustain public confidence and protect vital infrastructure across the state. The 24/7 operation is expected to create a safer environment for motorists and investors, particularly as traffic volume increases along the coastal road.
Residents and road users have been urged to cooperate with security personnel and promptly report suspicious movements or activities. The Police Command reiterated its commitment to ensuring that the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road remains secure, peaceful, and free from criminal threats.
The deployment signals a decisive step by the command toward reinforcing public safety and consolidating ongoing efforts to combat crime across major transportation corridors.
