Egbeyemi said that it became necessary to correct this misrepresentation due to persistent inquiries from members of the public and need to set the records straight.

While confirming that a young school girl was killed in Ikorodu, CSP Egbeyemi affirmed that the police officer involved in the incident was not attached to the Lagos State Task Force.

“It is on record that the officer who killed a 17-year-old girl (Adijat Shakiru) in Ikorodu, one Sergeant Mudi Emmanuel has been arrested and is undergoing ‘orderly room’ at Provost Marshall Unit for professional misconduct over the killing”, he stated.
