Consequently, the two Officers directly involved in the assault were publicly de-kitted and suspended from the Agency for the next 2 Months. They are also to be redeployed to another command of the Agency for behavioural evaluation and further reprimand.
 
In the same instance, the Commanding Superintendents and the Divisional Commander for Lagos Division of LNSC, under whose jurisdiction and command at the event were also suspended for one Month and their deputies are to act in their place until further notice: all with immediate effect.

 
The Agency also use this medium to tender an unreserved apology to the general public and by the same apologize to Mr. Clement Adedotun (the Uber Driver) for the conduct of the Officers at the event as it places high premium on its relationship with the people who the Agency consider as its greatest asset.
