The Chairman of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Task Force), Shola Jejeloye, has set up a panel to investigate the alleged extortion of a journalist by officials of the agency.
He said, “Officer Adeyemi whom I said was responsible was called but he didn’t show up; all the Adeyemis at the agency were brought to me to identify but none of them was him.

He called for the arrest of all the officers responsible for the extortion.”The Director, Press and Public Affairs, Task Force, Raheem Gbadeyan, stated that the officers were under investigation.
He said, “The officers were invited for interrogation and as we speak, they are under scrutiny. The chairman has set up a panel of inquiry to look into the matter; he’s not going to take it lightly with any of them.”All rights reserved.
