‘’In our Gallant officer intelligentsia in urban crime lens, we consider outstanding officers with distinct; we equally value experiences judging from Training, Operation, Administration, Doctrines and expertise in information communication Technology Compliance as justification. Our first officer we are presenting to our reading public is Olugbenga Adepoju, who indeed, has risen our hope essentially that policing in Nigeria context can yield positive response with ict compliance, in this, we have seen many out pouring’s of results’’, write Olusegun Ariyo.
Help certainly comes from everywhere but in situations of crime emergency where surveillance and intelligent gathering are of essence, the only solace we throw our hopes upon is prompt responses of security operatives to boost such scene and create meaningful impacts, far reaching efforts as saving grace in chaotic situation and that’s where help of such in this kind of scenario could come from.
We all need help, essentially in an emergency situation and when rapid response are prompts then calamity of high proportions, certainly can be avoided to a greater extent.
The only spectrum from where one can certainly stand mien and candor essentially coming from such herculean task in time of response in any crime scene is always from every tactic inherited from training as crime officer where policing required essentially in execution of its roles as agent of protection in any given society and its importance of how crimes are boosted remains veritable tool that any cop should dare to acquire.
Defending those in chaotic and helpless situation, preventing lives and properties are essentially what is needed from the rudiments of any policing techniques in sustaining lives, and that can only be acquired in training and then exhibiting it as at when due becomes a justification.
Molding it significantly through operations of different kind and creating impact remains another thing entirely, majority of where we found lacuna leading to kidnapping this day in Nigeria, crime boosting with due advantage on soft targets arena and other little theft cases are as result of inexperience’s in utilization of so many techniques that those operations may requires in response time can be what may eventually made numerous operations becomes unsuccessful.
Individual module’s operandi matter, its applicability with various methodical approaches too, are of significance in live saving situation.
What is therefore of importance, is the vast understanding; quick time response couple with intelligent gathering through surveillances, not minding which ever location or environmental consideration but that which can yields instant results in every emergency situation in any crime scene is what can justify any impacts in any chaotic situation.
Taking closer look at various crime scenes in various state of the federation, many ardent watchers would have come to terms with ‘’on time response of how Dc Olugbenga Adepoju to have been very useful in all said directions where information communication techniques tools implored had given it an edge to policing the country’s flash points areas.
Until recently, it was the kidnapping of chief Olufalae, former NADECO chieftain, who was apprehended in his farm and the team of the former inspector General of police headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Olugbenga Adepoju after putting its know how into reality to which then yielded positive result, the scenario that also played out in Ikorodu where some group of young men forced their way into Babington Macaulay junior Seminar school, kidnapped four female student, and where ransom is being demanded for, and after all said, also meet with their waterloo where the hand of nemesis catch up with them . What is more, of importance indeed is challenging oneself in every endeavor of life and nature, doing that also means, not only by completing a vacant position that is obviously needs more competence and you are found wanting, where at the end, your impact is not felt by both your employee and environments in its entirety.
DC Olugbenga Adepoju, remains a veritable source of golden image of Nigeria police which is what is gradually defining the portraits of the police and has shown that indeed the knowledge acquired in training is worthy of being a stepping stone in carrying out a complete balance in any live saving operation that is having the height of risk in it with various techniques that has since been yielding results and still continuing.
According to one of his admirers on social media, in describing him. He said as ‘’police man made in heaven’’, true, any individual impressed with such significant impacts with coming from those experiences, bringing them into reality can be described as such, indeed, not many could have done it within those time frame and hours of relieving kidnapped individuals from the dens of their assailants in many of his engagements as Deputy commissioner of Police in charge of Operation in rivers State , and if one has done such, we should all applaud it’’ said another commentator on social media
Other observers believe his exits from the state of Lagos as Area commander is costly, in that, given the nature of the state with having larger concentration of cosmopolitan population, that is synonymous with crime all over the world remains a blow too many.
‘’ States like Lagos with high tendencies of crime truly needs sophisticated officers like him, ‘’observers believe his understanding of surveillance even in different terrain, also is what lead to the apprehension of those king pin that picked up the mother of the former minister of finance, Dr Okonjo Iweala.
his tactics also paid off during armed rubbery attacks in Agbara, Festac, Lekki and okota Aerpo respectfully. Bringing information communication technology device to bear, couple with his training background with vast approaches and techniques in boosting crime has remains one thing Nigeria police must focus on in dealing with crimes in its approach toward saving lives and properties that must be encouraged by allowing such individual be in strategic position with large concentration of population, and where policing is in high demand, with this, those under him can learn, explore and implement some of those experiences independently and not the other way round where skills that are needed in cities are being kept in the remote areas and becomes worthless for other officers that may need to learn those skills and where also skills of such are needed at the same time becomes less useful.
