The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Idowu Owohunwa, has ordered the immediate removal of Okokomaiko Divisional Police Officer, SP Emmanuel Edebagha for failing to supervise his officers properly.
It was gathered that the order was a result of complaints by the members of the Okokomaiko division with the allegations that some personnel were forcefully extorting N101,000 from a phone dealer in Lagos, falsely labeling him a fraudster.
CP Owohunwa ordered the immediate removal of the DPO and initiated disciplinary action against him and all officers implicated in the incident.
The state’s PPRO, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Saturday via his verified Twitter page.
“CP Idowu Owohunwa has ordered the immediate removal of DPO Okokomaiko for his lack of supervision of his men. CP Owohunwa has also ordered commencement of disciplinary action against him and all his indicted officers (who are already in the state headquarters),” he wrote
