The National Patriots have formally commended the promotion of Assistant Inspector General of Police, Moshood Olohundare Jimoh, and his subsequent appointment as AIG in charge of Zone 2 Command, describing it as a timely and merit-driven decision that aligns with the evolving security demands of the region.
Zone 2, which covers Lagos and Ogun States, remains one of Nigeria’s most economically sensitive and security-critical jurisdictions.
With its dense population, commercial concentration, and increasing political activity ahead of future electoral cycles, the command requires not just administrative leadership, but operational depth, discipline, and foresight.
According to the National Patriots, AIG Jimoh embodies these qualities.
In a statement released by the group, the Patriots highlighted Jimoh’s distinguished track record in Lagos State, where his tenure as Commissioner of Police was marked by proactive, intelligence-led policing strategies that significantly curtailed criminal activities across key flashpoints.
His approach, they noted, was not reactive but preventive—anchored on surveillance, coordination, and timely intervention.
“His promotion is not only deserved, it is strategic,” the statement noted.
“AIG Moshood Olohundare Jimoh represents the standard of professionalism the Nigerian Police Force must continually strive toward—defined by competence, discipline, and a clear commitment to public safety.”
Beyond operational success, the National Patriots emphasized his reputation for integrity and accountability, pointing to his zero tolerance for corruption and consistent adherence to human rights standards in policing.
In a landscape where public trust in law enforcement remains fragile, such attributes, they argue, are not optional—they are essential.
Observers within security and policy circles also note Jimoh’s people-oriented leadership style, which combines firmness with restraint.
His ability to engage communities, de-escalate tensions, and maintain order without excessive force has earned him credibility across both civil society and institutional stakeholders.
The National Patriots further described him as a role model within the force, particularly for younger officers navigating the demands of modern policing. “His conduct reinforces the principle that authority must be exercised with responsibility, and power must always be guided by law,” the group stated.
With rising concerns around insecurity, economic pressures, and political mobilization, the group expressed confidence that Jimoh’s leadership at Zone 2 will strengthen inter-agency coordination, enhance intelligence gathering, and reinforce public confidence in policing outcomes.
A Prayer for Leadership and Protection
The National Patriots concluded their statement with a solemn prayer:
“May Almighty God grant AIG Moshood Olohundare Jimoh wisdom beyond measure, courage in the face of complexity, and discernment in every decision he takes. May he be divinely protected in the line of duty, shielded from harm, and strengthened to serve with justice and fairness. May his tenure bring lasting peace, reduced crime, and renewed confidence in the Nigerian Police across Zone 2 and beyond.”
As the nation continues to navigate a delicate security landscape, the appointment of tested and principled officers is not just desirable—it is necessary.
In AIG Jimoh, many believe Zone 2 has gained not just a commander, but a stabilizing force.
