The Lagos State Police Command has sacked the Officer- in- Charge of the Anti-Cultism Squad, SP Godwin Agbegbe, and the men and officers serving in the unit over allegations of corruption. While all policemen attached to the unit were ordered to report at the command headquarters for redeployment, Agbegbe was replaced by a Chief Superintendent of Police, Akaninyene Etuk.
A police source told us that the command received many complaints against the Officer-in-Charge and the unit, adding that the Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, was forced to take the decision.
The command spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday. He said,
The CP Lagos warns that the same treatment awaits any other unit in the command that is working at cross purposes with the fundamental objectives of the Nigeria Police Force."
He adds that Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and heads of departments must increase supervision of their men to ensure non - violation of the police Standard Operating Procedure.
