He reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Police Command to conducting a conclusive and professionally delivered investigation.
The investigation’s terms of reference include aggregating allegations and suspicions, deploying forensic and technical assets, identifying all individuals connected to the case, and gathering witness testimonies.
