“We commend CP Hakeem Odumosu for charging and checkmating units in the command, including the provost, X-Squad, CP Monitoring Team and Public Complaint Bureau (PCB), to wake up to their duties and responsibilities as officers,” it added.
NAOSRE called on other media agencies and platforms to put more effort into publicizing the phone numbers, help the Nigeria Police Force, especially the citizens considering the efforts of the Lagos State Command of the NPF.
According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the numbers to contact at the command (Public Complaint Bureau) against police unethical behaviors are 09057597931 (WhatsApp), 09010512350 (OC PCB), 09010512348 and 09090003792, adding that Odumosu has restated his zero tolerance for unethical and inhuman conducts by police officers.
