Only one bank robbery has succeeded in Lagos state since 2014.
This was declared on Thursday by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun while speaking at the 18th Security Briefing of Lagos state at the Alausa secretariat.
According to Egbetokun, the state would have been overwhelmed by criminals but for the consistent and persistent interventions of the governments of Lagos state.
Egbetokun said there have been collaborations between the state government and the police over the years leading to better and safer environment.
The IGP said the state government has been so supportive of the police force providing logistics for the safe policing of the state.
At the event were the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, Chairman of the state Security Trust Funds, Mr. Kehinde Durosimi-Etti and heads of security agencies in the state.
