A Divisional Police Officer in Lagos, SP Emmanuel Edebagha, is set to face a disciplinary committee over his failure to supervise the officers under his command.
It was gathered that officers under the command of the embattled DPO were reported to have been engaged in the act of extorting members of the public.
Officers in the division were said to have falsely tagged a Lagos- based phone dealer as a fraudster, extorting the sum of N100,000 from him in the process.
In a statement issued by the Lagos State Commissioner of police, Idowu Owohunwa, the DPO has been removed from his position.
As disclosed by the state spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin on Saturday, all the officers involved will be facing a disciplinary committee.
“CP Idowu Owohunwa has ordered the immediate removal of DPO Okokomaiko for his lack of supervision of his men. CP Owohunwa has also ordered the commencement of disciplinary action against him and all his indicted officers (who are already in the state headquarters),” Hundeyin tweeted.
