According to the act which established the corps in 2003, as amended in 2007, it has the mandate to register, license, train and re-train Private Guard outfits in the country.
Mefor Chibuzo, the public relations officer of the Lagos State Command, observed that most of the security outfits shutdown had been operating illegally without licences.
“Equally, the operating licences for some of them have expired and they refused to renew them,” he said.
“In view of this development, the corps has embarked on sanitising exercise to ensure full compliance. In the past three weeks, we have been going round Lagos metropolis sealing-up the offices of those who are operating illegally.”
The PRO warned those operating private security outfits to always abide by the law establishing them because any company found wanting will face the wrath of the law.
