The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has instructed the Police Public Relations Officer of the command to roll out the phone numbers of the Public Complaint Bureau of the command, in addition to the already released phone numbers, to the general public in order to allow them lodge complaints against police harassment, brutality and extortion.
This is aim at curbing the public disturbance of residents by its officers as contained in a statement released and signed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
According to Adejobi, the numbers to contact at the command (Public Complaint Bureau) against police unethical behaviors are: 09057597931 (WhatsApp), 09010512350 (OC PCB), 09010512348 and 09090003792.
He added that 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.
