A source from the Nigeria Police reveals that the Lagos Commissioner of Police,
CP Fatai Owoseni has warned Police officers in the state against
indiscipline and corrupt practices such as extortion and illegal
stop-and-search of Lagosians.
Owoseni made this known while lecturing Lagos Area Commanders, DPOs,
Operational Officers, including men of the Swift Anti-Robbery Squad,
SARS; Rapid Response Squad, RRS, and other sectional heads on
operational strategies to rid criminals in Lagos.
While he also queried some erring officers and warned them against
indiscipline/ disobeying lawful order against all forms of police
conducts, he emphasized that the duty of the Police is to protect lives
& properties. He encouraged DPOs to nominate police personnel for
the weekly training as this will help reduce the level of police
misconduct.
In a related development, Owoseni also warned Lagosians against
jungle justice as anyone caught in the act will be made to face the full
wrath of the law.

Corruption has eaten deep into our police officers and I don't think there is a way out...A task force should be set up to arrest corrupt officers especially those on our roads.
