Ojajuni, represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, Mrs Bolanle Mustapha, said residents could access the command’s Gateway Shield emergency line, 08100009111, free of charge at any time.
“We want to implore members of the public to make use of the police control room to report any incident in times of distress or whenever the attention of the police is needed,” he said.
The police commissioner directed Divisional Police Officers, DPOs, to display the emergency number prominently at police stations to improve public access to security agencies.
He noted that the inauguration of the police headquarters aligned with the vision to deepen security presence and improve policing at the grassroots.
According to him, the project was facilitated by the Olota of Ota, Oba Adeyemi Obalanlege, to bring security closer to residents.
Speaking at the event, Obalanlege described the inauguration of the Ota Central Police Divisional Headquarters and a 40-bed Primary Health Centre as a landmark achievement for Ota and Aworiland.
“These projects stand as enduring symbols of progress, improved security, accessible healthcare and purposeful governance for our people,” the monarch said.
He commended President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to national development and praised Governor Dapo Abiodun for sustaining a peaceful and investment-friendly environment in Ogun State.
Obalanlege also acknowledged the contribution of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, Mrs Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, in facilitating the projects.
