There was heavy security presence at the Police College in Ikeja, the Lagos State capital, on Thursday afternoon, where President Muhammadu Buhari launched some newly-procured security equipment for state.
The security equipment, donated by the Lagos State Government, include Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), operational buses and vans, bullet proof vests, ballistic helmets, arms and ammunition, among others.
Heavily armed military personnel, officials of the Department of State Services (DSS), policemen and other security agencies patrolled the grounds in a show of serious business.
Dignitaries and guests were strictly frisked before gaining entrance into the arena.
