Alabi remains Lagos CP, no new commissioner appointed – PPRO

Lagos Police Command says no new police commissioner has been appointed for the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement, in reaction to reports that a new CP had taken over the command.

According to him, the command has been inundated with requests for clarification on the status of the commissioner of police in the state.

“We wish to state categorically that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State is still CP Abiodun Alabi,” he stated.

“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 the state updated whenever the need arises.”
