The above named policemen are under investigation at X-Squad section and if the allegation against them is established, they will be marched before the Command’s Provost for their orderly room trials.
The Command wishes to assure members of the public that in line with its tradition of accountability, the outcome of the trial will be made public as usual.
The CP reiterates that belligerent policemen and their likes that have refused to key into the professional ethos of the Force have no room in this era of democratic policing. He therefore enjoins police officers in Lagos to be professional in the discharge of their duties.
