Following a publication on pages 4 and 5 of the Punch Newspaper of Wednesday, January 9, 2019 with the headline, “CCTV footage exposes policemen who raided Lagos night club”, the Commissioner of Police Lagos State, Mr. Edgal Imohimi has directed that all the policemen involved in the operation be invited for questioning.
A statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Chike Oti, Chief Superintendent of Police, disclosed that 13 out of the 19 officers that raided Lakers County night club in the Ikorodu area of the state had been arrested and were undergoing interrogation at the command’s X-Squad section while the rest were expected to report to the investigation body before midnight today.
Oti added that a team of detectives had been dispatched to the hotel to get evidence that would aid investigation and ultimately, the prosecution of officers found culpable.
He added that “The CP hints that the command will never cover up for any officer who breaches the standard operating procedure of the Force while carrying out his duties.
“He therefore assures that at the end of the ongoing investigation, the command would as usual inform members of the public of the outcome of the probe”.
