Lagos police launch investigation as jeweller  accuses its officers of harassment


The Lagos State Police Command said it has commenced an investigation into a viral video of a jeweller accusing some policemen in the Festac area of the state of harassing him. 


The command disclosed this in an X post on Saturday.


The video, which circulated on X on Saturday morning, shows the businessman engaged in a struggle with some policemen. Later in the video, the businessman could be seen with a bloody face after allegedly sustaining a cut beside his right eye during the struggle with the police officers, 


The jeweller later explained that the policemen from the Festac Division had stopped him for a routine search. He said the officers accused him of peddling drugs after finding a scale on him.


“I went to deliver a necklace to someone when police officers stopped and searched me in Festac, Lagos. They found nothing on me but saw the scale I use to measure gold and accused me of using it to weigh weed. 


They ordered me to follow them to the station, but I refused because I had done nothing wrong.


They were not properly dressed as police officers, and the bus they arrived in had no registration.


They then dragged me, tried to force me into the bus, and one of them hit me on the head with a gun before they started beating me.”


Reacting to the viral video, the state police command via its X handle, said it had launched an investigation and identified the policemen involved in the incident.


“The Lagos State Police Command has seen the video and has commenced an investigation into the incident. The officers involved have been identified as personnel attached to Area E Command. 


The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Tijani Fatai, has directed the Area Commander to immediately produce the officers at the Command Headquarters for further investigation and appropriate action.


The individual featured in the video is kindly urged to contact the Command’s Complaint Response Unit (CRU) on 09111111150 or 09111111151 to assist with the ongoing investigation.”
