By OLA MODUPE, Osogbo –
The Osun State Police Commissioner, Mr Olawale Olokode, has ordered the immediate disbandment of his Surveillance Squad because of unprofessional conduct by its members.
CP Olokode gave the directives in a statement issued on Sunday by The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Yemisi Opalola.
He said: “The dissolution is with immediate effect and all personnel attached to the squad are to report to the State Headquarters for redeployment.
“Investigations have commenced at the State’s Criminal Investigation Department over complaints of unprofessional conduct exhibited by personnel of the squad,’’ she stated.
The police boss noted that the disbandment would serve as deterrent to other tactical squads as the Command, under Olokode would not tolerate or condone any act unbecoming of police officers.
He however enjoined Osun residents to rekindle their trust in the police, saying they are committed to giving the state improved services that will stand the test of time.
