The Lagos State Police Command has uncovered a factory inside the Police College in Ikeja, where police uniforms and other accessories, are illegally produced and sold.

Police arrested four persons, all women, among them two nursing mothers. Several police uniforms with different ranks, badges, belts, boots cardigans, caps and force numbers were recovered from the suspects.

Vanguard gathered that investigation was still on to ascertain whether the force numbers were authentic.

The arrest came on the heels of petitions to the Inspector-General of Police, IG, Idris Ibrahim, following which he instituted a panel of inquiry headed by a retired IG.

Part of the panel’s recommendations include request that the Lagos State Police Command investigate the matter.

Consequently, the X-Squad of the command, headed by Mr. Bode Fakeye, was directed by the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, to clamp down on suspected perpetrators of the illegal act.

The suspects, during interrogation, admitted to the claim but refused to mention names of their buyers.

Spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the arrest, said: “The CP ordered the officer-in-charge of X-Squad to investigate, after the case was referred to us from the Police High Command, Abuja.

“When he finally investigated and found out that it was true, the CP ordered the arrest of the suspects and seizure of the materials.”

She added that the suspects would be arraigned in court today on a “two-count charge of conspiracy and unlawful possession and sales of police kits contrary to Section 328, Sub-sections A, B, C and D of Lagos State, 2011.”

Legal thieves on uniforms..that's what dey do best, harass innocent people and collect money$

They should free dem abeg. I was there some time ago and even senior officers patronize dem

Na hustle dem dey hustle and most of them are police wives who major in tailoring.

Their offence is becos they are not licenced to sell the uniform but the uniform ain't fake.

Madam Badmus pls released them for the recession is real and ppl are fighting to get garri money. They are not into the business becos they want to be rich. They are simply looking for what they will eat with their children.

Oga abeg, ejor release them

eeeh raaan aso illegal..illegal

Dis country is so unique. Nothing u will nt hear is dis country.

Naija we hail thee

Right under Police Nose. Illegal police uniform factory inside police college. Please arrest the commandant of the police college alongside for negligent of duty.

Police officers patronize them.Maybe one of the women refuse to date a high ranking officer,hence he decided to punish them.And to think the factory is inside the police college shows the officers knows and patronise them

The story get 'k leg'. can there be an illegal police uniform shop in a police command without their consent? It does not add up. I guess the shop owners fell out of favour with the police hierarchy.

Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!!
