We are tired of this kind of policing. Is this the way to police a community; incessantly raiding and harassing innocent persons, extorting and manhandling hapless people? No. I do not think this is how policemen should behave towards those they are supposed to protect and safeguard.

We have had several DPOs in this community and none was as arrogant, carefree and unprofessional as the present one. If this continues, we will stage a protest and let the world know what we are going through.”

Those were agonizing lamentations of a restaurant owner along old Ojo road, Agboju, Lagos who simply identified herself as Madam Lizzy. Curiously, Madam Lizzy is not the only one caught in the alleged dragnet of men and officers of Satellite police station, Agboju under the leadership of Superintendent of Police (SP), Akinola Adamu.

Investigation revealed that for the past two years, residents, motorists, Okada riders and, of course, business owners operating within the area have suffered untold hardship in the hands of gullible and overzealous policemen who allegedly are acting on the instructions of their DPO.

Looking for criminals

Some of the victims who narrated their ordeal lamented to Crime Alert that the DPO, exhibits over zealousness in the discharge of his official duties.
