The Lagos State Task force has dismissed two of its personnel, Fatai Yusuf and Hammed Garuba amid their involvement in theft during a recent raid. This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the task force, Mr Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, on Friday in Lagos.
Gbadeyan said that the officials stole phones during the operation conducted at a hotel in Gowon Estate, known for harboring drug users and traffickers, which resulted in numerous arrests. According to him, the integrity of the raid was compromised by the actions of the two officials whose misconduct was captured on Closed Circuit Television, CCTV. He further stated that the culprits were found guilty of stealing mobile phones from the scene.
The spokesman added that the chairman of the agency, CSP Adetayo Akerele, denounced their actions and reaffirmed the agency’s unwavering commitment to integrity and accountability. “Akerele has issued a stern admonition to all personnel, emphasising that any breach of ethical conduct would attract severe consequences,” he said.
