The commissioner strongly and unequivocally warned all Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPO) in the Lagos State to ensure strict compliance of this directive by their men.

The command in the statement said that the warning is in compliance with the earlier directive by the Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Baba Usman, that officers on patrol and stop-and-search duties must appear in approved uniforms.

Alabi in the statement said that the command would hold liable any supervisor or head of the department under whose jurisdiction this directive would be flouted.

The statement from the command reads, ‘’The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has strongly and unequivocally warned all Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in Lagos to strictly ensure that their men do not carry out police duties in mufti.

‘’This warning is in compliance with the earlier directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba Usman, that officers on patrol and stop-and-search duties must appear in approved uniforms.

‘’CP Alabi has consequently vowed to vicariously hold liable any supervisor or Head of Department under whose jurisdiction this directive is flouted. The general public is hereby enjoined to report sightings of any officer found on duty in mufti to enable the command take appropriate disciplinary actions.’’
