Hakeem Odumosu Lagos police commissioner

Lagos State commissioner of police Hakeem Odumosu has redeployed the divisional police officer (DPO) for Ajao Estate and his senior officers for allowing night clubbing at Garbana Club on Sunday.

Mr Odumosu stated this on Monday while addressing officers, area commanders and DPOs at the POWA Hall in Ikeja.

The police arrested 41 persons at the club between 1:40am and 2:30am on Sunday. The state has a standing order which disallows clubbing due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Odumosu warned the DPOs against promoting violation of COVID-19 protocols in their areas particularly clubbing and non-wearing of face masks.

The CP promised to pay them surprise visits to establish the true state of things in their respective areas.
