Assayomo, in a statement signed by  the spokesman of the state police command, Okasanmi Ajayi, warned policemen indulging  in such unethical practice to desist forthwith or  face  severe consequences.

To ensure strict compliance with his  directive, Assayomo said the  police command’s special monitoring team has been set up and detailed to be on the look out for deviant officers.

To ensure strict compliance of this directive, Kwara police Command’s special monitoring team has been set up and detailed to be on the look out for deviant officers.
