Mr. Fatai Owoseni, the
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, has ordered the immediate arrest and
detention of a serving police constable, Mr. Rotimi Oloye, who refused to go to
his new posting because bribes in the place are allegedly poor.The policeman, who said
that, “Osun State is too dry”!
It was gathered that
members of the public, alerted policemen attached to Akodo to his illegal
activities. When he was arrested, police discovered that he was a deserting his
duty post in Osun State.
Oloye, a formerly attached
to Mobile Police Force (Mopol 49), in Epe, was de-mobbed in 2012 and
transferred to Osun State, but he refused to go to his new place of posting.
Rather, he started wearing the rank of corporal, extorting money from people. He had been on this charade since 2012 and
only just arrested towards this closing of 2015. Ironically, all the while he
was gallivanting round Lagos, doing nothing; he was collecting his monthly
salary.
Oloye was arrested by a
team of policemen led by Mr. Raphael Adams, an Assistant Superintendent of
Police, (ASP).
A police source said:
“Some members of the public, who suspected him, alerted the Divisional Police
Officer (DPO), in charge of Akodo Police Station, Mr. Adamu Iday. The DPO is a
Superintendent of Police, (SP).”
It was gathered that Oloye
had been transferred to area J Headquarters in Elemooror in Ajah axis of the
state for further investigation.
