The Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, Adegoke Fayoade, has removed the Chairman of the State’s Environmental and Special Offenses Unit (Taskforce). CSP Shola Jejeloye.
Fayoade, meanwhile, has appointed CSP Adetayo Akerele to replace him at the Taskforce, to bring fresh zeal to the law enforcement agency.
The move which was part of the CP’s strategy to ensure further reduction in crime rate across Lagos has been approved by the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Jejeloye’s redeployment was confirmed through a statement released by the Director, Press and Public Affairs, Lagos State Taskforce, Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, on Wednesday.

The shape-ups has resulted in the immediate redeployment Egbeyemi to DFA, under the Lagos Police Command.
