The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Abiodun Alabi, has asked Lagosians to report police officers carrying out their official duties while on mufti.
This is contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the spokesperson for the command, Benjamin Hundeyin.
Mr Alabi said that the command would not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary actions againt erring police personnel.
Recall that the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, on March 12, warned police officers against the use of mufti and unauthorised outfits while on duty.
The Lagos police boss, therefore, warned all area commanders, tactical commanders and divisional police officers to ensure total compliance by officers under them.
Mr Alabi said that every police officer must be in approved uniforms while on patrol and stop-and-search duties.
He said that the command would hold liable any supervisor or head of department under whose jurisdiction this directive would be flouted.
