The Lagos State Police Command have sacked some officer in the force and demoted some other. According to the Commissioner of Police Edgal Imohimi, the police officers sacked numbering eight were dismissed over “very serious criminal offences”.

Edgal, also said that 108 officers were disciplined for various offences from January to July, 2018 in the Lagos State Command.

He made the disclosure at a Stakeholders’ Forum on “Police Accountability and Presentation of Advocacy Materials at the command’s headquarters, Ikeja.

The Police chief said that 58 other officers recorded major entries, six officers reprimanded, 28 officers got warning, four officers had extra fatigue, while five others were discharged for lack of evidences against them.

“The days of police officers receiving slaps on the wrist for offences are gone. When you performed excellently well, you will receive a CP’s Commendation Letter.

“I am not happy punishing any officer, but that does not mean we should overlook unprofessional conducts. When I resumed as CP Lagos, I discovered that the public had lost confidence in the police.

“I set up a Citizen Complaint Hot Centre with 10 mobile phone lines through which people can complain about the wrongs of our men. I have received many complaints.

“However, there is no way I would know all that my men are doing if nobody complained,” he said.

Edgal called on people in Lagos to continue to assist the police with information and other assistance, stressing that the 28,000 officers and men in Lagos were inadequate to police the state.

This is pure extortion and I feel pained each time I see this.

Whenever I hear sacked. I rethink of how their future would be

months later we wil read "dismissed police officer caught in armed robbery along so so place"..

Osinbajo is working

Nigerian police are becoming endangered species to bloody civilians.

let have this kind of reevaluation in all 36 state CP and see if police will not sit up


it is lack of supervision and negligence that has sprung up this ineptitude in the Nigeria police force, especially in the area of wages, their salary is the poorest in the world

Nigeria shall be great again

tell us their various crimes that necessitated their removal/ demotion

am not seeing any SARS official amongst them

Where is Durotoye that want to become president self. Sowore we see everywhere others just doing my wife and kids.

Need a job

....and this is the problem....why report to us and not call the hotline to report?

They look so humbled.......... I wonder which one is paining them more.... the atrocities they have committed or the bribe they won't be collecting again

Ciao
