A pastor based in Warewa, Ogun State, Adekunle Kristisanwo, who was detained by policemen from the Isheri Police Station, Lagos State, has demanded justice.
Kristisanwo also accused the Isheri Divisional Police Officer, CSP Amuda Abolaji, of refusing to investigate his complaint.
“The first time I visited the station with my lawyer, we met the DPO. He refused to give us an audience despite trying to explain the situation of things to him. We visited the place over and over again to let him realise that his men were doing illegal job at the border community, but he began to avoid us until the day we were told that the bike had been moved to the task force office,” he added.
When our correspondent contacted the DPO to respond to the allegation, he said, “Are you making any sense with what you’re telling me? You have published the story. What is it that you’re now telling me?” Recall that residents and business owners in the community had lamented alleged unprofessional conduct of officers from the division.reported how a group of policemen from the division were caught in an extortion scheme involving the use of the traffic light in the community.
