Lagos State Police Command has stated that an officer identified as Inspector Dele Reuben, captured in a video recording harassing a motorist, has been apprehended and is currently undergoing orderly room trial at the State Headquarters, Ikeja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the officer was harassing the motorist for tinted glasses permit, which has been suspended by Police authorities.
“His arrest came on the heels of the directive of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, that the errant officer be identified, arrested and decisively dealt with.
“It is pertinent to reiterate that issuance of tinted glasses permit remains suspended by the Force Management to enable an upgrade of the tinted glasses permits portal. In effect, while all existing tinted glasses permit remains valid, issuance of new permits is yet to resume,” the State Police Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said in a statement on Friday.
Meanwhile, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has reiterated his zero tolerance for harassment, extortion, and abuse of rights of citizens. He equally assured the general public that the Lagos State Police Command under his watch would continually strengthen its internal disciplinary mechanisms.
