The Lagos Mainland Security Minded Committee says it will collaborate with the security agencies to ensure protection of life and property in the state.
The group’s Head of Operations, Ishola Agbodemu, said the move was in line with the Federal Government’s policy on community policing.
Agbodemu said, “Insecurity has become a national challenge that needs proactive actions. The emergence of cultism today is due to the collapse of family values, moral decadence, low standards in public education and high cost of living.
