The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, has ordered the detention 
of four police officers attached to the Imota Tactical Team over the alleged harassment
of a young man in Odogunyan, Ikorodu. The commissioner also ordered the disbandment
of the tactical team pending further investigations and disciplinary proceedings
against the officers.

The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, disclosed
this during the parade of three of the four officers at the command headquarters
in Ikeja. The development was announced in a video shared on the command’s official
X account on Friday, October 23. According to Fatai, the police launched an investigation
after a video showing individuals allegedly harassing a young man in Odogunyan went
viral on social media.

He said the investigation identified the individuals as officers attached to the
Imota Tactical Team in Ikorodu, adding that they were summoned to the commissioner’s
office and ordered to be detained. “All four officers are in custody, while disciplinary
proceedings and further enquiries are expected to follow,” the commissioner said.

Fatai assured members of the public that appropriate action would be taken against
any officer found culpable, stressing that the command would not tolerate impunity.
He also commended members of the community for helping the police identify the officers,
noting that their cooperation facilitated the investigation and the officers’ subsequent
arrest.

Meanwhile, Adebisi said the command would continue to take disciplinary action against
officers found acting contrary to the directives of the Inspector-General of Police,
Tunji Disu. She urged residents to report any misconduct by police personnel to 
the command. In its statement accompanying the video on X, the Lagos State Police
Command reiterated its commitment to protecting citizens’ rights and holding officers
accountable for misconduct.

The command stated that wearing a police uniform did not give any officer the right
to intimidate, harass or violate the rights of citizens, adding that no officer 
found culpable would be shielded from accountability. The detention of the four 
officers and the disbandment of the Imota Tactical Team come amid renewed public
attention to allegations of police misconduct following the circulation of the video
on social media.
