No new Commissioner of Police (CP) has been deployed to Lagos, the Command clarified on Friday
The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Benjamin Hundeyin, made the clarification through a statement on Friday amid reports that a new CP has taken over from Abiodun Alabi.
Hundeyin said the clarification became necessary following avalanche of inquiries about CP Alabi.
“We wish to state categorically that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State is still CP Abiodun Alabi,” he said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, no Commissioner of Police has been posted to Lagos State. Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard fake news making the rounds that a new Commissioner of Police has been deployed to Lagos State Police Command.
“It is hoped that this clarification would halt the barrage of calls to officers of the command which has resulted in needless distraction and waste of valuable time.
“The Lagos State Police Command will keep residents and the good people of the State updated whenever the need arises.”
