Lagos Task force denies trending viral video on its operatives......says they only use our truck

The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) has denied that the uniformed men with the Agency’s black maria in a viral video circulating on social media are not its operatives.

According to a statement from the Agency and signed by the Head, Public Affairs Unit, Taofiq Adebayo, “the said uniformed men on the viral video were not operatives of the Agency as none of them had on any jacket with an inscription ‘Lagos State Task Force’ which is our official outfit during any enforcement operations.”

He said those uniformed men in the said viral video only used the Agency’s blackmaria to covey arrested miscreants and hoodlums to court as directed by the Lagos State Police Command.

“The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) therefore, enjoined members of the public not to attach the said viral video to any activities of the Agency.

“The Agency is, however, undeterred and committed to ridding the state of all criminal elements,” the statement reads.
