The Police Service Commission (PSC) has said that reports of the dismissal of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abayomi Shogunle and Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Dolapo Badmus are false.

Shogunle was a former head of the Police Public Complaint Unit while Badmus is a very popular former spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command and later the Zone Two Command.

The Nation reports that a list 37 officers, including names and service numbers, submitted by the Presidential Panel on Police Reforms was leaked on online on Saturday afternoon.

A senior police officer was quoted to have said the report of dismissal was fake wondering what the duo of Shogunle and Badmos might have done to warrant dismissal.

“Neither of them were in SARS. So, if they are talking about the dismissal of former SARS officers, they should not be among.

“It can’t be true. Maybe they were queried before and some type of punishments was allocated to them. Some punishments can be a very minor eg warning letter. Social media lies are too much. I am sure it isn’t dismissal for all the names on the list,” he said.
