CP FATAI OWOSENI - A SUPER COP FOR A MEGA CITY STATE

It was the Chinese, those resourceful people, who posited that if the student is ready, the teacher would appear.
In this case, when a megacity state requires a super cop, an Owoseni would appear.

One of the factors responsible for the relative success of the Ambode administration in fighting crime and ensuring security in the Lagos Megalopis has been his ability to bring out the best in those he is working with, especially the security forces.

CP Fatai Owoseni, The Lagos State Commissioner of Police is a thoroughbred police officer of the old school: relentless, articulate, fair minded and meticulous.

Of course that would not be a surprise to those who knew him, and where he came from.

You see, once you come across an Amunigun man, you expect all the attributes of an Omoluabi in his person, and in his behaviour.

And there is nobody more accommodating, more loyal and more resourceful than an Ibadan man.

So, wether they are petty criminals or kidnappers, oil pipeline vandals or fraudsters, armed robbers or land grabbers, this supercop and his team are on top of it all, staying awake to ensure you have a sound sleep.

I was supposed to see him yesterday on his birthday, but he was on the field all day, vaguely remembering it was his special day.
So this morning, I just dropped in to drop off his present, when he cleared his schedule to meet with me.

Interestingly, I was with my son, Ridwan, who was named after another Supercop, who is currently in charge of responding rapidly to distress calls, who the CP said has the height and the gait of a future cop.

Yeah, right.
As if his mother will allow such a thing .

Happy birthday, Buoda mi Fatai, many happy returns of the day.

As the highest ranking Police Officer from Oyo state, you are an inspiration to your generation, and a great asset to your nation.

Igba odun, o di kan, Omo Oke, Omo ajorosun,
