The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, has ordered a thorough investigation into bribery allegations against the Okokomaiko Area Tactical Commander.
The bribery allegations emerged against the commander during the investigation, process, and prosecution of six suspects for serious crimes in Lagos State.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, made this known in a statement issued on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
Hundeyin said the police commissioner set up a committee to investigate the allegations against the commander, bordering on complicity and other wrongdoings.

“The committee is made up of senior officers, headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, including the Officer in Charge, Legal of the command, to investigate the allegations and submit findings within a week,” Hundeyin stated.
The police spokesperson said the commander had been transferred out of the tactical squad to pave way for a thorough and unhindered investigation into the allegations.
“The outcome of the investigation will certainly be made public,” he said.
Hundeyin noted that the command does not support any form of corruption, complicity, or compromise of investigation and prosecution procedures by any of its officers.
“The command will make sure that if the officer involved is found wanting, in anyway, appropriate disciplinary measures will be promptly applied to serve as effective deterrent to others,” Hundeyin added.
