“In addidtion, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc has already effected the transfer out of all personnel of the division, with replacement from other divisions. This would fully materialize in a couple of days.
“We encourage more Lagos residents to, as usual, say something whenever they see something, as this would translate to a better policing experience for all. Remember, security is everyone’s business,” Mr Hundeyin said in a tweet on Monday
