Residents appeal to Lagos CP not to transfer Ajah officers to Igando, Ikotun, other Alimosho areas

The officers from the Ajah division have been notorious for alleged human rights abuses, including the recent killing of two civilians.

THE order of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi to immediately transfer all its officers from the Ajah Police Station has evoked mixed reactions, as Lagosians warned the CP against sending those officers to their communities.

The CP made this move following the cruel killing of a pregnant Lagos Lawyer, Bolanle Raheem after she was shot dead on Christmas Day by ASP Drambi Vandi, in the Ajah area of Lagos State.

Reacting to the post by the State Police Spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, on the transfer of the officers on Monday, a concerned Lagosian on Twitter, @Lan66c pleaded inquisitively: “Please, don’t bring those bad eggs to Igando, Alimosho in the name of God.

“The peace and well-behaved officers we are enjoying here now, we have never had such in history. Even transporters and citizens are enjoying it now.”

He further appealed to the spokesman to “Help us appreciate the DPO there; he is doing well.” Adding to it in the Pidgin English, he claimed, “No violence in Igando again. We are the law-abiding citizens of this great country. As it stands, other communities need to learn from us.”

Again, another Lagosian, @Olota48 protested: “They should not transfer them (the officers from Ajah) to Ikotun, please. The ones here are doing great now.”
