Lagos State Police Command Releases Official Statement On Its Encounter With Singer, Praiz Adejo


The Lagos state police command has released a statement stating its own side of the story regarding the faceoff between singer Praiz and some of its officials on Tuesday December 19th. The statement was released today by the state police command spokesperson, SP Chike Oti. Read below....


    On the 19th day of December 2017, at noon hours, police men attached to Area 'J' Command Headquarters, Ajah, Lagos, who were on routine anti crime patrol along Lekki/Epe express way, noticed a car at top speed approaching their end.

    The police men 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.
    When the car stopped, the officers who were in their uniforms approached the driver but to their disbelief, the driver who was yet to addressed by the police men became hysterical without provocation and started shouting " Sars, sars, sars ooo". As he was shouting and pouring unprintable invectives on the officers of the law, he was at the same time filming them.

    These unprovoked actions on the part of the driver whose true identity at that time was unknown to the patrol men, made them even more suspicious of him and so they requested him to come with them to see the Area Commander, ACP Felix Oben whom they had  already called to report the conduct of the man.

    It was at the Area Commander's office  that they got to know that he is a musician that goes by the name Praize. The Area Commander questioned him and advised him to be of good behaviour. He thereafter departed the police station peacefully without any molestation whatsoever.

    The Police authority in Lagos nevertheless felt scandalized by Praize's rudeness to the men in uniform who were out to ensure law, order and safety  along the Lekki/ Epe corridor.
    It is a matter of common knowledge that the Command Commissioner of Police, CP. Edgal Imohimi, who has dismissed a number of police men that  abused their offices since assuming office, would not hesitate to deal with the policemen if they had erred. It is also instructive to note that the officers are not SARS operatives as erroneously assumed by Praize but conventional police men in their uniforms serving at  Area 'J' Command Headquarters.

    The Lagos State Police Command, wishes to use this medium to inform all and sundry in Lagos state, that the present Commissioner of Police, Cp Edgal Imohimi had on assumption office set up the Citizen Complaint Centre with dedicated lines where complaints against police actions can be lodged for necessary action. Celebrities are therefore advised to take advantage of  these numbers or call on the Police Public Relations Officer  instead of resorting to cheap social media blackmail.

Below are the Citizen Complaint Centre numbers:
08067945296, 08063025274, 08113615350
08113683077, 08096283148, 08096283183
