Nine Policemen Arrested In Lagos Over Bribery

The Lagos State Police Command arrested nine policemen and three others for engaging in corruption practices.

New Commissioner of Police in the State, Edgal Imohimi, said on Thursday that the arrest was in line with the command’s zero tolerance to corruption.

He also said two divisional police officers in the areas under which those arrested operated were issued queries after the arrests.

Imohimi said, based on his directive, operatives of the X-Squad, which is tasked with monitoring the activities of police operatives for corrupt practices, have intensified their operations, leading to the arrest.

The Lagos Police Commissioner said the policemen arrested “are currently undergoing departmental orderly room trial to ensure a total purging of the command of its bad eggs, while their civilian accomplices are being charged to court for related offences”.
