The on-going shake-up in the Nigerian Police System ensuring transfers of Senior Police Officers (SPOs) to different formations and offices has also hit the State criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Lagos State Police Command.
The State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba,
Lagos on Friday, 15th of January 2021, witnessed the
redeployment of the Officer-In-Charge of the department, DCP Yetunde Longe, to
Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of DFA of the Zone 2 Command (i.e.
Lagos/Ogun).
Astute DCP Yetunde Longe, at various times before her
deployment as Officer in-Charge of Lagos SCID, in early 2018 had served as 2iC
at SCID, Lagos; 2iC at Area F Command in Lagos; Commander-in-Charge, Area F,
Lagos; Commandant at Police Training school; as well as Deputy Commissioner of
Police and Officer-in-Charge, SCID, Bauchi state.
Longe kickstarted her official duties at the Lagos SCID
with the mandate of rebranding the ‘old SCID’ from what it used to be known
for. She began with the introduction of standard dress code for all officers
attached to the department.
She further went ahead to ensure the creation of the
department’s official website and email address (www.scid.lg.gov.ng & info@scid.lg.gov.ng)
which was unveiled by former Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu,
all in a bid to bring Policing closer to the people.
Her administration as the Officer-in-Charge also facilitated
the creation of an advanced 21st century audio-visual
statement-taking room which was donated by the European Union through the
support of ROLAC, also commissioned by CP Zubairu Muazu.
She also facilitated the
provision of electronic bio-data capturing machines attached to the Forensics
section of the department, and facilitated several capacity-building trainings
for policemen attached to every section of the department.
Longe’s administration also supervised the
conceptualization, construction, and completion of a 300-seater conference hall
and office complex fully furnished equipped with modern multimedia electronic
gadgets, commissioned by the current Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem
Odumosu.
Under
her watch as Officer-in-charge of Lagos SCID, the department also prosecuted
hundreds of crime suspects and ensured culprits are brought to justice.
Yetunde Longe has however handed over the administration of the SCID to DCP Fayoade Adegoke as the new Officer-in-Charge of the Department on Friday, 15th of January 17, 2021. She is bid to resume her new office at Zone 2 Command on Monday, 18th of January, 2021.
