Reacting to the development, the Police spokesperson promised to investigate the matter.
Using the micro-blogging platform X on Wednesday, the Public Relations Officer for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, revealed that the individual has been identified as Inspector Istifanus Kwanchi, who is currently serving in the Mobile Police (MOPOL).
The PPRO added that the officer has been brought in to face appropriate disciplinary measures.
