The Lagos State Police authority has ordered the immediate arrest of a police sergeant who lost his pistol while clubbing.
The policeman, identified simply as sergeant Tokunbo, is attached to Area F Police Command, Ikeja.
According to a police source, the sergeant parked his Toyota Camry car outside a night club at Igando area of the metropolis and walked in to have a nice time, leaving his pistol inside the car.
After he had finished having a nice time, he came out to discover that his car had disappeared, along with his Bereta pistol, loaded with eight rounds of ammunitions.
All attempts to locate his car and those who stole it proved abortive, as no one accepted to have seen anyone driving the car away.
Tokunbo was said to have reluctantly gone to meet and report the matter to his area Commander, Tunde Adagunduro, who said he was not too happy with the situation and felt that the sergeant was not being totally honest with him.
Adagunduro thereafter ordered the arrest and detention of the sergeant.
When contacted, Police spokesperson on Lagos State, DSP Ngozi Braide, said she would have to investigate and revert.
