Lagos State Police Command has debunked claims that its officer assaulted officials of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the Lekki area of the state.
In a statement on Wednesday, Lagos police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin said that if the woman was a police officer she would have been disciplined by the police force first before arraignment in court.
He said, “The command wishes to debunk claims making the rounds that Monalisa Osayi, who was arrested for physically assaulting officials of the FRSC on Dec. 7, is a police officer.
“On the contrary, the suspect was arrested and prosecuted by the Ajah Division of the Lagos State Police Command for the assault.
“Were she a police officer, internal disciplinary processes would have first been activated, resulting in her suspension or dismissal, before she could be arraigned in court.”
Hundeyin assured members of the public of a robust synergy with other security bodies.
“The synergy between the police and the FRSC and, indeed, other sister security agencies is robust and remains of paramount importance in the security architecture of Lagos State, ” he said.
