Lagos State dismisses two task force officers after CCTV captured them pilfering phones during raid.

The Lagos state task force has dismissed two of its personnel for alleged theft during a raid.

The dismissed officials, identified as Fatai Yusuf, 42, and 38-year-old Hammed Garuba, stole phones during an operation conducted at a hotel in Gowon Estate.

According to the task force spokesperson, Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, the integrity of the raid was compromised by the actions of the two officials whose misconduct was captured on closed circuit television (CCTV).

“Both individuals, serving as paramilitary officers within the agency, were subjected to a meticulous investigation by the agency’s disciplinary committee.

Upon confirmation of their guilt, they were summarily dismissed from service and will face immediate prosecution for theft,” he said.
