The Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos State says that the three police officers, who demanded a tinted glass permit from motorists are facing trial for professional misconduct.
It was reported that the officers accosted the OAP in Victoria Island in Lagos and demanded to enter his car while asking for his tinted glass permit. The OAP however refused to open his car for him as the officers were dressed in Mufti and did not present their ID cards when he demanded for it. He insisted he wouldn’t open his car due to the rate of kidnapping across the country.
In a statement released today February 2, the Zonal Public Relations Officer (ZPRO), SP. Tunni Ayuba, identified the errant officers as ASP Kenedy Ereoah, Insp.
Ayuba said that the men were not kidnappers, but officers attached to the Zone 2 Command.
“ZONE 2 COMMAND COMMENCES TRIAL OF OFFICERS IN VIRAL VIDEO
The attention of the Police in Zone 2 Command was drawn to a viral video posted by ‘X’ user with the handle
@EmmCee_RNB on the 25th January, 2024 where three men claiming to be Police Officers attached to Zone 2 Command demanded a tinted permit from a motorist. The tweet was responded to while investigation was caused into the identity of the Officers.
The Officers were identified as (1) ASP KENEDY EREOAH (2) INSPR ADEMILUYI ADEKUNLE and (3) INSPR AYO GBENGA all attached to Zonal Intelligence Bureau, Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos.
Contrary to the claim that they were kidnappers, they were headed on official duty but acted unprofessionally. Meanwhile, the officers have been defaulted and presently being tried for flouting the IGP’s directive on tinted permit
However, for the purpose of transparency, the command wishes to request the presence of the affected member of the public to contact the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer via GSM No. 08100025614 for further action.
The AIG thereby calls for calm and reassures residents of Lagos and Ogun States of safety and security of lives and properties as they go about their lawful businesses.”
