The Lagos State Police Command has debunked claims making the rounds that Monalisa Osayi, who was arrested for assaulting officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on December 7, is a police officer.
This is contained in a Wednesday statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin.
Hundeyin said that on the contrary, the suspect was arrested and prosecuted by the Ajah Division of the Lagos State Police Command for the assault.
“Were she a police officer, internal disciplinary processes would have first been activated, resulting in her suspension or dismissal, before she could be arraigned in court.
“The Command, therefore, urges the public to disregard the false claims and assures them that the synergy between the police and the FRSC and, indeed, other sister security agencies is robust and remains of paramount importance in the security architecture of Lagos State,” Hundeyin stated.
