Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the closure of all beer parlours within
police communities in Lagos state.
His order comes after a
police officer in the command, Kadima Useni with appointment number 176219, was
dismissed after a viral video of him showed him drunk while on duty around the
Akowonjo, Dopemu area of the state.
The CP believes shutting
down the beer parlours will avoid a recurrence of such and the dismissal of the
officer will serve as a deterrent to others.
According to the state
police command spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, the Lagos police boss directed the
officer in charge of the Command Provost Section to embark on tour of all
police formations and barracks within the state with a view to identifying and
shutting all beer parlours within the police community so as to prevent a re-occurrence
of such an embarrassment.
In the same vein, the
commissioner warned against offering policemen alcoholic drinks while on duty
by members of the public. He added that henceforth any policeman found drunk on
duty will be visited with similar punishment.
