Lagos State Police Command, on Tuesday, November 23, 2021, asked anyone who has been physically attacked for whatever reason in any part of the state to lodge a formal complaint at the nearest police station where the incident allegedly took place.
The command said that the report would enable the police to take appropriate action by diligently investigating and prosecuting the case.
In a statement issued by its Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, it was said that the Command’s attention was drawn to an allegation circulating in the media that a witness who testified at the just-concluded Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS-Related Abuses and other Matters was attacked by yet-to-be-identified persons.
With the statutory duty to protect lives and property, apprehend and prosecute offenders, among other duties, the PPRO said that the police would not abdicate their important duties even in the face of daunting challenges.
“The Commissioner of Police hereby reiterates the Command’s commitment to the protection of lives and property of all residents of the state, irrespective of their status,” Ajisebutu stated.
