It is imperative for us to consider the best way to protect ourselves. The then DPO of Iso-Ikoko police station, Monday Agbonika brought the initiative which was later embraced by Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode. However, as God would have it; Agbogunleri Isale Oja community embraced the initiative because it came in the way that we have always wanted to protect ourselves.
The policemen cannot afford to protect all of us at the same time. We felt it is time for the neighbourhood to help ourselves in ensuring safety of lives and properties. It is obvious that before you even get to the police station during distress, it might be difficult but if the neighbourhood is composed and secured, evil perpetrators will be scared off. This is the reason why we inaugurated the Voluntary Policing Sector (VPS) to serve as our community's watchdog.
