Hakeem Odumosu, Lagos Police Commissioner.

The Lagos Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, has released phone numbers of the Command’s Public Complaint Bureau in order to allow people lodge complaints against police harassment, brutality and extortion.

Odumosu urged the public to contact the Public Complaint Bureau of the command on the following numbers: 09057597931 (WhatsApp), 09010512350 (OC PCB), 09010512348 and 09090003792, adding that Odumosu has restated his zero tolerance for unethical and inhuman conducts by police officers.

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.

He noted that such identification is sine-qua-non to immediate investigation and disciplinary actions against the erring personnel.
