Opinion: Still On the Show Of Power At Magodo Estate – By SUNDAY EZE
The raw show of power and authority displayed at Magodo Estate Phase II in Lagos state by the political and security timber and calibre comes with heightened interest. Scene one was opened with an unscheduled visit to the estate by the Commissioner of Police Lagos state, Hakeem Odumosu with the full paraphernalia of office. Siren blaring. He was denied access by the Private Security Guards for failure to disclose the particular house or person he intended to visit. Irked by the audacity of “bloody civilians” in uniform to stop a whole CP from meeting a strategic partner;.some of the guards paid dearly for their intransigence. The hoopla raised by the Commissioner’s behaviour forced the police command to issue a belated statement.
