Police deny Lagos CP replaced

The Lagos State Police Command has denied the posting of commissioner of police Frank Mba to Lagos state as a replacement for the incumbent, Abiodun Alabi.

In a statement on Friday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the command, urged the members of public to disregard the “fake news”.

He said, “The Lagos State Police Command has been inundated with requests for clarification on the status of the Commissioner of Police in the Command.

“We wish to state categorically that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State is still CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc, mnim, psc. For the avoidance of doubt, no Commissioner of Police has been posted to Lagos State.

“Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard fake news making the rounds that a new Commissioner of Police has been deployed to Lagos State Police Command.

“It is hoped that this clarification would halt the barrage of calls to officers of the Command which has resulted in needless distraction and waste of valuable time.

“The Lagos State Police Command will keep residents and the good people of Lagos State updated whenever the need arises.”
