The state commissioner of police, Hakeem Odumosu had two days ago commended the RRS officers and their counterparts attached to the Area ‘A’ Command for the humanitarian service.

The officers had seen a man in distress at about 3am last Friday, when they were on normal patrol of their beat around Ikoyi. 

He was accosted and asked where he was heading that early during a lockdown. 

The man, impatiently blurted out that his wife was in labour and that he had been looking for vehicle for some time to no avail.

The officers hurriedly got him into their patrol vehicle after informing their Monitor at Area ‘A’ Command. 

They drove him to his residence and took him and his wife to a hospital in Obalende, Lagos where she delivered a baby girl.
