Abiodun Alabi, the commissioner of police (CP) in Lagos, has
ordered the replacement of all officers attached to Ajiwe station in Ajah area
of the state.
Alabi also ordered that all shanties located around the Ajah
police division be removed.
Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos police spokesperson, disclosed the
development on Monday, while responding to a report by Punch.
“In addition, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc has already effected the transfer out of ALL personnel of the division, with replacement from other divisions. This would fully materialize in a couple of days,” Hundeyin tweeted.
I can confirm that this publication has been overtaken by events. The new DPO Ajah, CSP Adolf Ogwu, had earlier in the week dismantled all the shanties around the police station. 1/3 https://t.co/3dyZb4BycY pic.twitter.com/stcpytPESh

The development comes days after Drambi Vandi, an assistant
superintendent of police attached to the Ajiwe police station, was involved in
a shooting incident that led to the death of Bolanle Raheem, a lawyer.
The shooting incident occurred at the Ajah axis of Lagos.
The incident sparked widespread criticism, while the Lagos
state government filed a one-count charge of unlawful killing against Vandi.
Subsequently, the officer was remanded at the Ikoyi
correctional centre pending legal advice from the state directorate of public
prosecution (DPP).
Vandi has also been suspended by the Police Service
Commission (PSC).
Also, on December 6, a police inspector attached to the same
station allegedly shot dead Gafaru Buraimoh, a resident of Happy Land estate in
Ajah.
