The Lagos State Police Command has redeployed DPO Ajao Estate Division and his senior officers in the Division to yet-to-be disclosed offices in the state for allowing night clubbing at Garbana Club on Sunday.
It was learnt that the command had arrested 41 clubbers at the club between 1.40am and 2.30am.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Hakeem Odumosu said this on Monday while addressing officers, area commanders and DPOs at the POWA Hall, Oduduwa Ikeja.
Odumosu, had earlier warned Area Commanders and DPOs to enforce COVID-19 protocols in their areas, adding that on no account should any of them allow gross violation of the protocols in the state.
Some of the officers and area commanders were said to have tolerated the lawbreakers by not enforcing the COVID-19 protocols.
The CP, however, warned the DPOs against promoting violation of COVID-19 protocols in their areas particularly clubbing and non-wearing of nose masks as charity begins at home.
Odumosu said he will pay them surprise visits to catch those who ignore his orders unawares.
