The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said this during an interview on Channels Television. He said, “The officer is an ASP, he is not an Inspector and you can not just recommend his suspension. There is a procedure to follow and the number one procedure is for the Inspector-General of Police to recommend to the Police Service Commission that this officer should be suspended. The officer is in detention and I think by now, we should have received the interim from the Lagos Police Command. They do not need to come to the IG level or the Service Commission level because there is no ASP involved in that particular incident.

As we near the end of 2022, there is a need for introspection and a re-strategising for the new year. And that brings us to the topic of ‘devils’ that might have impacted us in the outgoing year. Those flies that spoil the ointment, the challenges that make us bristle or cause self doubts. These ‘devils’ can manifest even in relatives, friends, colleagues or others.
