Lagos is tightening its grip on crime—and the new Area G Commander isn’t waiting around to be told twice. ACP Vera Ameh-Akpa, freshly deployed to Ogba, has launched a familization tour of divisions under her watch, bringing with her the full force of the Inspector General’s and Commissioner’s orders. And make no mistake—the message is loud, clear, and uncompromising.
Acting on the bold crime-fighting blueprint of IGP Kayode Egbetokun, PhD, and the fierce operational directive of Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, ACP Akpa stormed divisions across her area, delivering a powerful lecture that has already begun reshaping mindsets within the ranks.
In her mission to enforce what insiders are calling the “New Lagos Standard,” Akpa visited the Isokoko, Alakuko, Ijaiye Ojokoro, Abattoir, Oko Oba, and Iju divisions—addressing officers with a fiery mandate: Shine your eyes and clean up Lagos. Every black spot must be raided. Every corner sanitized.
“Our job is not just enforcement, it’s transformation,” she declared. “The IGP wants the Nigerian Police Force to become world-class. CP Jimoh has issued a matching order—Lagos must be the safest city in Africa.”
ACP Akpa pulled no punches in her lecture, hammering home critical issues including:
Discipline and punctuality
Strict weapon handling and adherence to rules of engagement
Personal development and welfare
Loyalty and synergy with sister agencies
Respect for civilians and proper conduct
Avoidance of illegal duties
Social media discipline
Alertness and traffic management
Her tone? Firm but inspiring. Her presence? Unmissable. The mood among officers? A mix of admiration, anxiety—and motivation.
One officer confided, “She’s the kind of leader we need. She’s not just talking, she’s moving.”
Backed by IGP Egbetokun’s reformist zeal and CP Jimoh’s tactical intensity, ACP Akpa has ignited a new wave of accountability within Area G. And if her first tour is anything to go by, Lagos criminals—and lazy officers—better watch their backs.
Meanwhile, the dividend of ACP Vera Ameh-Akpa familiarization tour is adequately yielding results as the Managing Director of Top Taste bread, Mr Nasiru Ikotun has pledged to repair abandoned operational vehicle of Okooba police station within two weeks
The lockdown on indiscipline has begun.
Way to go, ma’am. We can’t wait to see the difference a woman will bring to the table!
