“Dolapo Badmus, Abayomi Shogunle Not Sacked” Police Commission Insists

“Dolapo Badmus, Abayomi Shogunle Not Sacked” Police Commission Insists

Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Dolapo Badmus and Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abayomi Shogunle have not been dismissed, a Police Commission source has claimed.

The Police Service Commission, PSC, rubbished the viral claim making wave on social media that it has dismissed Dolapo Badmus and Abayomi Shogunle.

A purported list of dismissal of 37 former SARS officials, including Dolapo Badmus, a former Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, and Shogunle was on social media, with several online platforms feeding on the story without verification.

Shogunle was a former head of the Police Public Complaint Unit.

Many were happy that Shogunle and Dolapo Badmus were purportedly dismissed or demoted by the PSC.

But PSC’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, debunked the report, saying it could not be true as the commission had not met.

“The Commission did not sit yesterday and I am not aware of any dismissal. The Commission meets officially before any decision is taken and it has not met,” he said.

Below is the purported list released by foreign policy analyst, Ayo Akanji on his twitter page:
