In a bid to end the menace of the
dreaded badoo group,the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni,
has recently led some senior officers of the Lagos police command to an
emergency meeting with the traditional rulers in Ikorodu.
The meeting conducted with the
Obas and other traditional leaders was attended by Owoseni, the DC (CID), DCP
Bolaji Salami, the Area Commander – Ikorodu, ACP Garuba, the Commander RRS, ACP
Olatunji Disu and other DPOs to discuss collaborative efforts with residents of
the area to end the menace and to put a stop to the ill-fated jungle justice
penalty meted out on suspected Badoo members.
The police boss emphasized the
need to subject suspected badoo members to proper scrutiny rather than engaging
in mob action which could defeat the opportunity of screening and interrogation
that might give meaningful information to the police.
Several resolutions were also
made at the meeting, including the development of a neighbor watch which could
help in boosting the security alertness of residents and help in curbing the
menace of ritual killing which has besieged Ikorodu for months.
It would be recalled that the
Lagos State Police Command recently uncovered a shrine believed to be
owned by the badoo group.
