The State Police Command has said that no new Commissioner of Police has not been deployed to the state as being reported in the media.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin, stated this in a statement on Friday, describing the reports of new CP as “fake news.”
Hundeyin said the command had been inundated with requests for clarification on the status of the commissioner of police in the state.
“We wish to state categorically that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State is still CP Abiodun Alabi,” he stated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, no Commissioner of Police has been posted to Lagos State. Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard fake news making the rounds that a new Commissioner of Police has been deployed to Lagos State Police Command.
“It is hoped that this clarification would halt the barrage of calls to officers of the command which has resulted in needless distraction and waste of valuable time.
“The Lagos State Police Command will keep residents and the good people of the state updated whenever the need arises.”
