THE Lagos State Police Command has vowed to fish out those responsible for the molestation of #OccupyLekkiTollgate protesters on Saturday.
The Command said it would ensure that perpetrators were punished for thier unprofessional conduct.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement on Sunday that the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, was “piqued” by the unprofessional and inhuman act.
He added that the CP had therefore ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State CID, Panti, DCP Adegoke Fayoade, to analyse the video and bring to book whoever must have been responsible for the act.
The PPRO said, “The attention of the Lagos State Police Command has been drawn to a viral video where some arrested ‘Endsars protesters’ were being molested in a bus by some individuals after their arrest.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, who was piqued by this unprofessional and inhuman act, has ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State CID, Panti, DCP Adegoke Fayoade, to analyse the video and bring to book whoever that must have been responsible for the act.
“CP Hakeem Odumosu reiterates that, inasmuch as the Command is resolute in enforcing all laws in the state, it will not deviate from the Standard Operating Procedure of the Nigeria Police Force and provisions of the law in discharging its duties; noting that the Command will fish out those responsible for the molestation and ensure they are punished for thier unprofessional conduct.
“He further urged Lagosians to be law-abiding and maintain peace at all times as the police and other security agencies will not allow any violence and breakdown of law and order in any part of the state.”
