Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, on Tuesday warned Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in the state police command to shun bribery or leave the state. Owoseni stated this during a lecture on Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officers at the Police Officers\u2019 Wives\u2019 Association (POWA) Hall, Ikeja.<\/p>\n

He warned that the era of impunity and corruption among cops was gone, appealing to his subordinates to come for transfer if they would not want to play by the rules in the state.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI am tired of hearing about shooting or killing of innocent persons. No one has the right to take another man\u2019s life. It is only God that has the right to take life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is your responsibility as a DPO to know those who are collecting bribe under you. If you refuse to stop them, they will stop you from being a DPO.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is embarrassing to see policemen collecting bribes and chasing yahoo yahoo boys for a DPO. I would not cover any DPO. I will expose you. Just leave Lagos before I get to your station. I cannot share out of your misconduct. I will give your photographs and details to journalists to expose you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am shocked to hear that some Area Commanders and DPOs are on the pay rolls of fraudsters. I am investigating. Just pray that I don\u2019t get you. Just know that you are causing pains for taxpayers if you are intimidating them and collecting bribe from criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a curse to build a house with the money. The building would collapse on your head. Some of you even take people to the bank to collect money. If you train your children with the money, they won\u2019t be useful to you.<\/p>

\u201cIf those who were in the force before us bastardized it, we would not have the opportunity to be enlisted in the police. I am tired of pleading with police victims because you are doing what you are not supposed to do. Remember, one day, you are going to die and give account to your creator.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo back to your areas of jurisdiction and warn your men against brutality, indiscriminate use of handcuffs on pregnant women, elders and persons with disability.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecial Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) should take note. I will not tolerate any act of indiscipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cLearn a lesson from DPO Ijeshatedo, who shot dead a fashion designer. He is in our custody and we are compiling charges against him. He would soon be arraigned in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll DPOs in Ikorodu should use all resources within their disposals to fish out Badoo cult group that has been causing havoc in the community. I am giving you all 48 hours to decongest your cells. Nobody should be detained more than 48 hours. I will conduct checks on the cells.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
