The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that the “errant officer” captured on video harassing a motorist for the now-suspended tinted glasses permit, has been apprehended and currently undergoing disciplinary procedures at the State Headquarters, Ikeja.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin made this public in a statement he issued Friday.
Hundeyin explained that the accused, known as Inspector Dele Reuben’s arrest came on the heels of the directive of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, that “the errant officer be identified, arrested and decisively dealt with”.
“It is pertinent to reiterate that issuance of tinted glasses permit remains suspended by the Force Management to enable an upgrade of the tinted glasses permit portal. In effect, while all existing tinted glasses permit remain valid, issuance of new permits is yet to resume”.
“CP Alabi has further reiterated to his officer and men, his zero tolerance for harassment, extortion and abuse of rights of citizens. He equally assured the general public that the Lagos State Police Command under his watch will continually strengthen its internal disciplinary mechanisms” the statement affirmed.
