As the accusations and counter accusation in the on going 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.
