LAGOS POLICE LAUNCH INVESTIGATION INTO VIRAL ALAKUKO, IKORODU INCIDENTS
By Aishat Momoh. O.
The Lagos State Police Command says it has launched an investigation into two viral incidents involving its operatives in Alakuko and Ikorodu.
In one of the videos circulating online, officers were seen firing tear gas at students in Alakuko, while another clip captured the aftermath of an accident in Ikorodu that left two people injured and currently receiving treatment in hospital.
Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to lead the probe into both cases.
Jimoh condemned the unprofessional conduct of officers seen in the Alakuko video, stressing that the Command does not condone overzealousness or misuse of power.
On the Ikorodu incident, he urged representatives of the victims to come forward with information to aid investigations, assuring the public that due process would be followed and any officer found culpable would face disciplinary action.
