Owoseni, who paraded over 30 suspects including rapists, armed robbery suspects, car snatchers and rounded-up in the last one week, affirmed that murder cases are on the increase in the state.
Citing several instances of how a drunken husband slit the throat of his dear wife at Oshodi and brothers killing themselves over torch light, the Chief said the command is worried about such crimes.
However it was gathered that the renewed Niger Delta militants which had claimed responsibilities for recent attacks on pipelines in the area has vowed to attack a police station at Ikorodu as well as the Third Mainland Bridge.
It was gathered that the Marine Unit of the Force is not taking chances as it has deployed plain clothe detectives across the coastal waters to forestall any breach.
An impeccable source said the Marine Police had conducted a mock operation to prepare its men on the physical and mental alertness of such challenge.
There was unconfirmed rumour at the weekend that the militant would strike in commercial nerve centre to further make a bold statement about their agitation.
