LAGOS CP BANS POLICEMEN FROM PATROLLING IN MUFTI AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, GIVES OUT COMPLAINT LINES. 

To ensure that policemen in Lagos are at their professional best always, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi has banned police operatives in the state from operating in  mufti and commercial  vehicles such as the yellow buses popularly known as Danfo or other commercial buses. Unmarked vehicles will only be used occasionally for covert operations targeted at a specific individual or group based on credible intelligence. The Command is not unaware that some unscrupulous individuals impersonate as SARS operatives. To this end, the CP urges members of the public to take note of the dress code for SARS operatives in the Command. The dress code is as follows:

1. A black jacket and a fez cap.
2. In the front of the jacket, the word police is written in white at the top right part.
3. At the bottom left part of the jacket,

F-SARS  039 is written there.

4. At the back of the jacket are

inscriptions “F-SARS LAGOS,”  “SCORPION” and a red  image of a Scorpion.

5. On the fez cap are inscriptions

“F-SARS” and “SCORPION.”
