Petition Filed Against Lagos CP Over Media Trial Claims

The Forum has formally submitted a petition against the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, alleging that the police have engaged in a media trial concerning Alhaji Ham Tajudeen, who has been accused of sponsoring multiple murders. The petition, presented by Adedotun Ajulo Esq., emphasizes that the police have not conducted a proper investigation and have failed to honor invitations for questioning.

It highlights that no arrest warrant has been issued against Tajudeen, and the accusations have caused significant reputational harm without due process. The Forum expresses concern over the police's actions, which they believe have inflamed community tensions and led to harassment and intimidation of Tajudeen.

They seek the establishment of a neutral investigative team to review the allegations and call for the retraction of what they describe as false and malicious claims. The petition underscores the need for the Lagos State Police to uphold professionalism and impartiality in their operations.
