The Lagos State Police Command has detained two police officers following an illegal operation that led to the death of a civilian.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Command’s spokesperson, confirmed the detention in a statement released on Saturday. The officers, whose names and ranks remain undisclosed, were part of the State Taskforce.
According to Hundeyin, the officers embarked on an unauthorized operation on Wednesday, accompanied by several civilians. The illicit operation took a tragic turn when the team came under attack from motorcycle riders, resulting in the death of one of the civilians.
"While disciplinary actions have commenced on the already detained police officers, search is on for their civilian accomplices," Hundeyin stated. "Investigations have commenced to identify, arrest, and prosecute the perpetrators of this dastardly act."
The Command has vowed to pursue justice for the victim and ensure accountability within its ranks, as it continues the search for those involved in the unauthorized mission.
