Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), has expressed disapproval of the two armoured cars bought at the cost of N255 million for the Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah, saying it will purchase 51 patrol vehicles for the Nigerian Police.

The governor said this at the 7th annual Town Hall Meeting on Security, themed: ‘Sustaining Local Responding To Rising National Security Challenges,’ held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

“It is sad to know that the Federal Government that allocate three patrol vehicles for one state police command of 370, 000 police men, is unable to resolve how N255 million was used to purchase 2 saloon vehicles for one officer. It is a very grave irony.

“The cost of average vehicle needed to patrol the state is just N5 million. And with such fund, we will have put at least 5
1 patrol vehicles on the road, patrolling the streets of Lagos.” -
