In a statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, on Thursday,” the incident happened at the tollgate end of the airport on the 20th July, 2018.”

The statement added that on receiving the news of the incident, the Lagos CP ordered the Command X-Squad section to fish out the policemen involved.

Their investigations led to the arrest of the policemen: Inspector Christian Offor, Inspector Kingsley Umeji, Sergeant David Eguavoen and Sergeant Paul Ebo.

It was revealed that the policemen are under investigation at X-Squad section and if the allegation against them is established, they will be marched before the Command’s Provost for their orderly room trials.
