Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal, on Monday redeployed the officer and men in charge of
the Anti-Cultism Squad over alleged unprofessional conducts and corruption.
The police spokesman in Lagos
Command, CSP Chike Oti, said in a statement in Lagos that the move was to
reposition and reinvigorate the command’s Anti-Cultism Squad.
According to him, reorganisation
of the squad was necessitated by the unprofessional conducts of its personnel
and corruption in the unit.
He said that the unit was very
crucial in the fight against cultists and cultism in the state.
“The Commissioner of Police,
Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi, has redeployed the Officer-in-Charge of the
Squad, SP Godwin Agbegbe, while CSP Akaninyene Etuk has been posted to take
over from him.
“Similarly, all members of the
squad were relieved of their duty posts and have been directed to report to the
Lagos State Police Headquarters for debriefing.
“The CP 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 said.
Oti added that all Area
Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Head of Departments were enjoined to
increase supervision of their men in order to ensure non-violation of the
police Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
He also urged members of the
public with useful information about the activities of cultists in any part of
the state to reach CSP Etuk on 08034448617.
Edgal had on September 3 2017,
sacked, Adejobi Akinade, the Officer in-Charge of the Anti-Kidnapping and
Cultism Unit of the command over alleged corruption.
The police chief, after removing
Adejobi, separated Kidnapping unit from Cultism and posted senior officers as
heads of the two units for better service delivery.
