In a bid to curb public disturbance of residents by its officers, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has instructed the Public Relations Officer of the Command to roll out the telephone numbers of the Public Complaint Bureau, in addition to the already released phone numbers, to enable the general public lodge complaints against police harassment, brutality and extortion.
CP Odumosu, while restating his zero tolerance for unethical and inhuman conducts in the Police, ordered all checkmating units in the Command including Provost, X-Squad, CP Monitoring Team and Public Complaint Bureau (PCB), to wake up to their duties and arrest any policeman, who deviates from the normal ethics and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the Nigeria Police within Lagos State.
The Commissioner also urged members of the public to always take the pains of identifying such policemen who harass, brutalise and extort them as Lagos State hosts many police formations aside from the Lagos State Command, noting that such identification is sine-qua-non to immediate investigation and disciplinary actions against the erring personnel.
He appealed to the general public to contact the Command (Public Complaint Bureau) on the following numbers: 09057597931 (WhatsApp), 09010512350(OC PCB), 09010512348 and 09090003792.
