The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Inspector Dele Reuben, who was captured by in a video harassing a motorist over the now-suspended tinted glass permit.
The Command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated this in a statement he issued on Friday in Lagos State.
He said that the officer was currently undergoing disciplinary procedures at the State Police Headquarters, Ikeja.
He said: “The policeman harassing a motorist in a video that has gone viral is undergoing orderly room trial.”
Hundeyin said Reuben’s arrest came on the heels of the directive of the Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, that the errant officer be identified, arrested and decisively dealt with.
He said: “It is pertinent to reiterate that issuance of tinted-glass permit remains suspended by the force management to enable an upgrade of the tinted-glass-permit portal.
“In effect, while all existing-tinted-glass permits remain valid, issuance of new permits is yet to resume.”
Hundeyin reiterated the CP’s zero tolerance for harassment, extortion and abuse of rights of citizens in the state by any police officer.
Alabi assured the general public that the police command in the state under his watch would continually strengthen its internal disciplinary mechanisms.
