For some of us who for the sake justice and fairness seeking the other side of the alledged power tussle between the private security outfit officials on duty at MABRA Estate, Magodo and The Commissioner of Police Lagos State; now AIG Akeem Odumusu on the 1st of January, 2022 which has going round all types of media.

Here's the "official" account of the incident as narrated by the estate executives and signed by their Publicity Secretary.



The Executives of MABRA will like to apologise to all residents who were delayed in the traffic jam caused by the social visit of the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hakeem Odumosu on the 1st of January, 2022 to our Estate.

At about 6pm yesterday evening, Mr. Odumosu entered our Estate to attend a social event at the instance of one of our resident.

It was quite a busy day in the Estate yesterday as many residents had ongoing social events. The Estate security operatives on duty, having not had prior knowledge of Mr. Odumosu’s visit and in a bid to assist him with directions to the house of his host, sought to ascertain the particular resident he was visiting.

The Commissioner interpreted this act as an insult on his person and ordered the immediate arrest of all the security operatives on duty even after gaining access into the Estate to attend the party.

A resident who happens to be a widow that was passing by with her three children was also ordered to be arrested alongside her 3 children by the Commissioner of Police. Her offence was that she tried to intervene to understand the situation.

The Executives, represented by the Vice-Chairman and the Publicity Secretary, after being briefed of the situation, proceeded to the party to apologise on behalf of the security operatives for any disrespect caused to the Commissioner and plead for the release of the resident, her three children and the security operatives. These pleas fell on deaf ears.

At this point, the Executives, members of the Estate Security Committee, the Estate CSO and some residents had converge at the Estate gate to plead with the Commissioner on his way out with the hope that his anger would have subsided after enjoying the party.

To our amazement, the Commissioner came down from the car on his way out, said he was insulted by our estate and further instructed that the remaining security operatives who replaced the arrested ones should also be arrested.

This resulted in complete shutdown of the Estate as no one could go in or come out as our Estate gate is automated and the operatives with the access token were all arrested with the token. This further resulted in the traffic jam that occurred on CMD Road for over 4hrs.

Pleas from different angle was made to the Commissioner with no yield until about 11pm when he finally gave in. The estate was finally able to bail the security operatives who were already put in cell, the resident with her children who were put behind the counter at about 11:30pm

Signed
Mabra Publicity Secretary

Reckless abuse of power

.

IamANigerianMan come here and read what trnaspired instead of supporting nonsense

He is a bastard!

The story follow the same narratives as that of the police and a clear case power drunk attitude can easily be identified on the part of CP Odumosu.

Nigeria public office holders are always think highly of themselves above every other citizens regardless of whether you are doing your job as expected.

If you are so unfortunate to meet these blue/black uniform men on your way to your wedding venue and you are not ready to bribe them with your wedding ring.... they will make sure you miss your wedding that day.....

He was not on official engagement but a social events.... He should have done the right by following a laid down protocol. If it were to be some advanced security robots at the entrance, would he have staged such illegal arrest....

These people should be trained to lay a good precedent whenever they have interaction with the civil society. Everything no be by force and intimidation. Habbbba!!!

And will it right for the Major General to be punishing estate security for asking him where he is going to?

Nigerians are just too used to oppression sha.

That's simply abuse of power if this version of the story is true
