Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fayoade Adegoke, on Wednesday 10th of January 2024 visited the newly established radio station, Melody FM, 107.7FM, Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos State, and commended the radio station for its efforts in disseminating information to the public.
While featuring on a night program anchored by veteran broadcaster, Otunba Yemi Odunodu (Mimi Aye), the Ila-Oragun-born Lagos police officer said in the Yoruba language, “No policeman has the right to beat citizens. You, citizens, are our boss, the government pays us through your taxes. So, we must accord you the necessary respect.
“On the issue of searching phone, no policeman has the right to search your phone. If a policeman suspects anything on your phone, he will take you to the station to search the phone, we have a cyber department that deals with all that.”
On bail, the Lagos CP reiterated that bail is free while also giving citizens clues to expose corrupt policemen. “If you feel you have been cheated by a policeman or a policeman engages in corruption, kindly report the policeman to his DPO, if the DPO is not forthcoming, report to the Area Commander. I believe your case will be solved but if you still feel cheated, please report to me directly, my phone number is open to all Lagosians”, he added.
On hand to receive the CP were the Chairman and founder of Melody FM, Prophet Sam Ojo (Baba Authority), The General Manager, of Melody FM, Mr Omisope, publisher of Yoruba Tooto newspaper, Mr Kunle Babarinde and other top staff of the radio station.
