“Police got the complaint from the victim and the officer denied the crime when he was contacted.

“The command placed him under detention so that he will not tamper with the evidence.

“We wrote to his bank and obtained his statement of account.

“We were able to trace the money to where the POS operator transferred it before transferring the money to the officer’s account.

“We followed due process to get his account. The victim was invited in the course of investigation, and he testified.

“The POS operator was also invited, and he said the officer requested him to transfer the money from the victim’s account to another one,” Hudenyi added.

Hundeyin stated that Shimuyere was put through an Orderly Room trial in accordance with the law.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, Mr. Idowu Owohunwa, reviewed the trial and approved the punishment of dismissal from the force for the officer with Force No. 461654, attached to the Sogunle Police Division.
