As the accusations and
counter accusation in the ongoing case between Sahara reporters publisher,
Omoyele Sowore and Lekan Fatodu continues, LIB has reached out to the Lagos
State Police PRO, Dolapo Badmus for further clarification on the matter.
Dolapo tells LIB that,
'it is unfortunate that Sowore and his lawyers continue to malign and defame
the Nigerian Police and the good office of the Lagos State CP, Fatai Owoseni
with their falsehood'.
She adds that,
'for the record, Sowore and his accuser Lekan Fatodu were not detained by
the Nigerian Police. Sowore was the one who made a false ‘armed robbery’ phone
call to the Police and in our usual manner we responded swiftly with the aim of
protecting life but unfortunately it turned out to be false alarm from someone
who should be of high reputation. The command has not, cannot and will
not be used by any one to attack another citizen`as insinuated by sowore.
'We remain committed to
our duty of protecting lives and property, and no amount of defamation can
derail us from been focused. The commissioner of police Cp Fatai Owoseni who
has performed gallantly well in ensuring safety of lives and property in Lagos
will not be distracted by attitude of an individual who has set out to malign
him as he's busy strategising on how to continually ensure safety of lives and
property within Lagos State and it's environ" she added.
