According to the statement by the NPF, some of the affected personnel were attached to Lagos State Police Command while others were serving at various police formations within Lagos State.

“The trials were instituted based on series of complaints/allegations leveled against them,” the statement continued.

Hakeem Odumosu, the state Commissioner of Police, said steps are being taken by the command to sanitise its workforce in order to change the general perception that Lagos State Police Command and the entire police force, in particular, condone indiscipline and crimes.

The state Commissioner of Police appealed to the general public to report any misconduct of police personnel to appropriate authorities as such will be treated accordingly and justice will be done.
