The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, has directed an immediate investigation into the harassment of a News Central reporter by thugs while covering a protest in the Ojota area of the state.
The thugs had demanded that the reporter leave the area.
According to a statement released by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, on X.com, the commissioner has tasked the investigating team with identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators.
The investigation was prompted by an official complaint filed by the News Central crew, led by Managing Director, Kayode Akintemi, at the police command headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday.
The PPRO wrote, “The Commissioner of Police @LagosPoliceNG, CP Adegoke Fayoade, has ordered an immediate investigation into this incident. He mandated the investigating team to fish out the miscreants and ensure their prosecution accordingly.
“He gave this directive today when the crew involved, led by News Central MD, #KayodeAkintemi, submitted an official complaint letter at the command headquarters, Ikeja.”
