Extortion: Lagos CP Orders Immediate Removal Of DPO
The Lagos state commissioner of police, CP Idowu Owohunwa, has taken swift action against the Okokomaiko divisional police officer (DPO), Emmanuel Edebagha for failing to supervise his officers properly.
The move came after some operatives of the police division in Okokomaiko region of the state were accused of forcefully extorting N101,000 from a phone dealer in Lagos state, falsely labeling him a fraudster.
This was made known by the state police spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on Saturday, April 15.

“CP Owohunwa has also ordered commencement of disciplinary action against him and all his indicted officers (who are already in the state headquarters).”
