The Lagos State Police Command has dismissed two officers for the role both men allegedly played in the hijack of a trailer loaded with auto spare-parts last Saturday in Sagamu, Ogun State.
Their dismissal was announced by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, yesterday, while adding that the duo would be prosecuted.
Inspector Durojaiye Taiwo and Sergeant Victor Omorokai of the Strike unit of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, on Saturday night accompanied two other policemen to hijacked a trailer carrying goods worth N30 million. Omorokai was arrested at Okokomaiko in Lagos, with the aid of the trailer’s tracking device.
Owoseni said the suspects had been handed over to the Ogun State Police Command where the crime was committed.
He said,

“We did not deny the story; it was all over the media. Some bad fellows committed a crime and it is the stand of the Inspector-General of Police that all bad eggs in the Force be exposed and made to face the law like other ordinary criminals.
“We arrested them and the ones that are on the run, we are going after them. Exhibits have been recovered.
“The crime was committed in Ogun State Police Command and we have handed the ex-policemen to that command to prosecute them in the court of law.
“In the same vein, I want to state that we have not covered anyone of them. They would be tried. The Nigeria police would not spare those who are not worthy of wearing the police uniform.”
