THE Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Inspector Dele Reuben who was captured in a viral video harassing a motorist over the now-suspended-tinted-glass permit.
This information was disclosed by the Command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin in a statement on Friday, March 25, 2022, in Lagos.
He said that the officer is currently undergoing disciplinary procedures at the State Police Headquarters, Ikeja.
“The policeman harassing a motorist in a video that has gone viral is undergoing orderly room trial,” he said
Hundeyin affirmed that Reuben’s arrest came on the heels of the directive of the Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, that the errant officer be identified, arrested, and decisively dealt with.
“It is pertinent to reiterate that issuance of tinted-glass permit remains suspended by the force management to enable an upgrade of the tinted-glass-permit portal.
“In effect, while all existing-tinted-glass permits remain valid, issuance of new permits is yet to resume,” the spokesman said.
Hundeyin reiterated the CP’s zero tolerance for harassment, extortion, and abuse of the rights of the citizens of the state by any police officers.
He assured the general public that the police command in the state would continually strengthen its internal disciplinary mechanisms.
