Lagos CP Orders Redeployment of Policemen in Ajah Division
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police has ordered the transfer of all the Policemen serving in Ajah police Division.
The only policeman who was not transferred is the Divisional Police officer (DPO).
The transfer is not unconnected with the killing of a female Lawyer by a trigger happy Policeman, ASP Drambi Vendi, who shot her on Christmas day. Besides the female Lawyer, another innocent citizen, was also shot dead by another police officer serving in the same station.
It was gathered that the Inspector- General of Police,after the visit of the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to his office, ordered CP Alabi to transfer all the police officers in the division.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, made the disclosure in a series of tweets while reacting to a report about Ajah policemen caught drinking while abandoning their duties.
According to residents of the area, the policemen are always under the influence of alcohol while on duty and on patrol which may have been responsible for the recent killing of a pregnant lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who was attached to the station.
Two weeks earlier, an Inspector, Imeh Johnson, attached to the same division, also shot dead another resident, Gafaru Buraimoh, who was on his way to buy fuel.
He added that the new Divisional Police Officer, CSP Adolf Ogwu, had earlier in the week dismantled all the shanties around the police station.
