The Special Court sitting in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos State, has sentenced two Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) officials to three months imprisonment for stealing clothes. They were pronounced guilty of stealing two tshirts belonging to a foreigner, whose goods were seized by the taskforce officials.

The officials – Adeosun Adewale and Ganiu Yusuf – attached to the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, were charged for conduct likely to cause breach of peace, obstruction and criminal extortion.

They were sentenced to three months imprisonment and two days community service each or pay fine of N10, 000 in addition to two days community services.

Speaking on the development, the Taskforce Chairman, Mr. Bayo Sulaiman, who said the KAI officials had already been dismissed for stealing, reaffirmed the tasks force’s commitment to enforcing the law diligently.

Sulaiman said he had warned enforcement officials not to steal people’s property anytime they went out to enforce law, adding that the taskforce would not condoned such corrupt act.

He said: “Recently, we went on a raid to clear road obstruction at Berger area of Lagos. We cleared the area and restored sanity to the area. Lots of items were taken away such as clothes, foods and handsets so that their owners could come to our office for prosecution.

“Two clothes were stolen by two KAI members attached to my office. The owner of the clothes, an Indian, said two of the tshirts were missing. Two of the KAI officials were seen wearing the t-shirts and the owner claimed the shirts belong to him.”

Nice one, instilling discipline in the minds of law-enforcement officers is a must!!

Up Fashola!!!!

This show the KAI should start in their office. Come to think of it, it is a shame that people who are required to maintain order are indisciplined themselves.

Nice one baba fash
