The Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2 Command, AIG, Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, has disbanded a unit and ordered a trial for three officers over alleged misconduct.
Mr. Fayoade confirmed this to Journalists in Lagos, linking his decision to a viral video involving officers attempting to arrest a Lagos State University, LASU, female student. He described the officers’ actions as embarrassing and unprofessional, stressing the need to curb corruption and indiscipline within the command. The AIG acted after meeting the student, her landlord, LASU officials, and representatives from the student body.
The landlord had petitioned Zone 2 against the student, but the petition was later found to be misleading and inappropriate for the zonal office.
