Disturbed by the unwholesome behaviour of some police men after consumption of alcoholic beverages offered them, members of the public, should desist from offering or giving alcoholic drinks to policemen in Lagos State Command.

The appeal became necessary in view of the misconduct of some policemen after consumption of all kinds free alcoholic beverages given to them by friends, party makers or by those who come to police station for one reason or the other.

Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, who made the plea, said henceforth any member of the public who offers a police man alcoholic beverage, would have a lot of explanation to make to the police authority while the drunken officer would face the harshest possible punishment for drunkenness as stipulated in the Police Act.

Imohimi, said should there be any need to offer them drinks, it must be minerals, water or non alcoholic beverages.

In a similar vein, he warned all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to locate and shut down all shops within their barracks, Area Command and Divisional premises where alcoholic beverages were sold or consumed in line with Nigeria Police Rules and Regulations.
