The Commissioner for the Lagos State Police Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade, has approved the orderly room trial of four officers for misconduct.
The spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this in a statement on Wednesday, July 3.
Hundeyin said operatives of the command also arrested 27 civilians for allegedly assaulting police officers on duty, including a traditional ruler.
He said Fayoade ordered the immediate orderly room trial of the entire team of police officers seen in a viral video assaulting a suspect said to have resisted an arrest.
Orderly room trial is the first investigation process a uniform personnel go through; whatever is the verdict will be enforced by the authority.
Hundeyin, a Superintendent of Police, also said that the Alausa Police Division had on Monday deployed its officers to Makinde Odewale Street, Oregun, Ikeja after it received numerous complaints on the alleged “flagrant abuse of hard drugs”.
