The Lagos State Taskforce has dismissed two of its personnel following their involvement in theft during a recent raid.

The two personnel were identified as Fatai Yusuf (42) and Hammed Garuba (38), in a statement by the Taskforce spokesman, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, on Friday, November 29. May b

Thenewsbearer learnt that the operation, conducted in a hotel in Gowon Estate known for harbouring drug users and traffickers, resulted in numerous arrests.

However, the integrity of the raid was compromised by the actions of two officials whose misconduct was captured on CCTV.

The culprits were found guilty of stealing mobile phones from the scene.

The spokesman said that both individuals, serving as paramilitary officers within the agency, were subjected to a meticulous investigation by the agency’s Disciplinary Committee.

Upon confirmation of their guilt, they were summarily dismissed from service and would face immediate prosecution for theft.

The Taskforce chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, condemned their actions, reaffirming the agency’s unwavering commitment to integrity and accountability.

He issued a stern warning to all personnel, emphasising that any breach of ethical conduct would attract severe consequences.

“The Lagos State Taskforce is guided by principles of discipline, equity, and justice. Any act that compromises the agency’s credibility or erodes public trust will be addressed decisively and without hesitation,” he said.

In a related development, the first group of 53 drug peddlers and users apprehended during earlier operations have been remanded at the Badagry Correctional Centre after being charged in court.

Within the week also, in a subsequent raid targeting drug hotspots and illicit structures within Gowon Estate, Ipaja, Lagos, the Taskforce arrested 43 additional suspects.

The operation led to the demolition of identified drug hideouts and shanties to deter recurring criminal activities in the area.

The PRO said that all apprehended individuals had been promptly arraigned, underscoring the agency’s relentless commitment to eradicating drug-related crimes and ensuring public safety.

These actions, he stated, highlighted the Taskforce’s uncompromising stance on unethical conduct and its dedication to maintaining law and order in alignment with the Lagos State THEMES PLUS agenda.
