The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Monday denied claims by musician Praise Ugbede Adejo, popularly known as Praiz that he was harassed by the Policemen on duty.
The musician had alleged on his instagram page on the 23rd of December with an hashtag #Endsars that he was harassed by men of the Lagos State Police command on his way to 3XM Music end of the year party and was taken to the Ajah police Station.
But the Lagos CP, Imohimi in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, SP Chike Oti said the musician was resorting to cheap blackmail on social media.
“on Dec. 19, at 12midnight, policemen attached to Area ‘J’ Command Headquarters, Ajah, Lagos, who were on routine, anti-crime patrol along the Lekki/Epe expressway, noticed a car at top speed approaching their end”.
“The policemen sensed that the speed was much and so were alarmed, hence they flagged down the car to check on the occupants and if necessary, search the trunk of the car”.
