The Lagos State Commissioner of Police has responded sharply to comments made by activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, saying the activist is not qualified to question the competence of the police leadership in Lagos.
Reacting to Sowore’s recent remarks in an interview, the Commissioner defended his record, stating that he has served with professionalism and dedication for over nine months in the state.
“During his interview, he said the Commissioner of Police is not competent. I am very competent. I’ve been here for more than nine months,” the Commissioner said. “Even in court, where the accused person shows good conduct, the prosecution still has the right to point out his bad conduct.”
The police chief went further to allege that Sowore does not possess a valid National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate, claiming that although the activist was posted to Adamawa State, he did not complete his one-year service.
“I want to make it abundantly clear — Sowore doesn’t have an NYSC certificate. He was posted to Adamawa and never did his service. So such a person, who isn’t qualified to bear the NYSC certificate of our great country Nigeria, cannot be the one calling others miscreants or disturbing the peace of Lagos. We won’t allow it,” he declared.
The remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some calling for caution and professionalism from the police, while others have demanded evidence to substantiate the Commissioner’s claims.
As of press time, Omoyele Sowore has not publicly responded to the Commissioner’s allegations.
