The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Adegoke Fayoade, has ordered the immediate orderly room trial of police officers seen in a viral video assaulting a suspect who was resisting arrest.
On Tuesday, the policemen from the Alausa Division of the Lagos State Police Command went to Makinde Odewale Street in the Oregun area of the state to arrest some suspected drug users and dealers.
They met with stiff resistance, and a scuffle ensued, leading to injury to an inspector of police and assault on the Olu of Alausa and CDA Chairman.
CP Fayoade condemned the actions of the police officers and said they were not in tandem with the values and professional ethics of the Nigeria Police Force.
