113 People Arrested In Lagos For Violating COVID-19 Protocols

 

 

 

 

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu on Monday paraded 113 violators of COVID-19 protocols at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos.

The violators were arrested on Sunday 7th March, 2021 at Garbana Club, Ajao Estate and DNA Club, Victoria Island, Lagos by police operatives of the command, including the Lagos State Taskforce led by the Commander, CSP Sola Jejeloye.

The Commissioner of Police, while parading the suspects, vowed to go after club owners and their landlords who contravened the town planning approvals of the state by converting their properties meant for other purposes to nightclubs.

He emphasised ]the need to make them scapegoats so as to serve as deterrent to others in the state.

In the same vein the Commissioner of Police held a meeting with all the Area Commanders, Divisional Officers and Heads of Departments on Monday at the POWA Hall, Oduduwa, Ikeja on having better security of Lagos State.

Odumosu rolled out his plans and strategies to be adopted in curbing crimes and criminality in the state and to specifically tackle cultism in certain areas within the state.

The police boss also warned against the nonchalant attitudes of security personnel towards observing COVID-19 protocols in the state.

He vowed to deal decisively with anyone caught in the web of gross violation of the protocols whether civilian or service personnel, as the fight against violation of the protocols, is not selective.

The Commissioner of Police, at the meeting, pronounced the deployment of the DPO Ajao Estate and his senior officers for allowing night clubbing and violation of other COVID-19 protocols in the area.

He warned others to learn and desist from the negligence of the DPO Ajao Estate as any DPO who promotes violation of COVID-19 protocols will be “fired” and sanctioned departmentally.

Odumosu charged the officers and men of the command to discharge their duties without fair or favour and ensure regular visibility policing in their areas of responsibility in the state.
