Officers of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested five Special Anti Robbery Squad officers in relation to the allegation of harassment of Immanuel James at Ago-Palace way, Okota, opposite a Zenith Bank branch.

The command’s spokesman, Chike Oti said the officers are currently undergoing interrogation at the Command’s X-Squad Section and would be marched before an Adjudicating Officer at the Police Provost Department for the commencement of their orderly room trial.

He said the arrest was carried out following a directive from the Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal.

Oti gave the names of the officers as; Inspector Taiwo Omojope, Inspector Arigidi Ebibor, Sergeant Rotimi Adesoba, Olalekan Olakunle and Friday Oni.

He said the officers are from the Ipakodo Base of the Special Anti Robbery Squad and not the Ikeja Unit as was previously reported.

The PPRO said Inspector Jude Akhoyemta earlier mentioned in the matter was found to be innocent.

Recall that the CP on Tuesday ordered the Command X-Squad section, led by ASP. Musa Shuaibu to arrest one Insp Jude Akhoyemta attached to FSARS Ikeja for harassing James.

The SARS harassment was made public after Mr Ekene Okoro placed a call to the- office of the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State and reported that his cousin, Immanuel James was being harassed by policemen at Ago-Palace way, Okota, opposite a Zenith Bank branch.
