Controversial Sagamu DPO Redeployed

The Ogun State Police Command on Tuesday redeployed the embattled Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Sagamu, John Mark, to the command’s headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, and put in place a six-member committee to investigate allegations of extortion against him.
The deployment of the officer was the fallout of a petition and protest by a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Yinka Mafe, who accused the DPO of extorting members of the public.
Mr. Mafe, the majority leader at the assembly, on Monday organised a protest against the police officer in Sagamu, with some residents storming major streets of the town clamouring for Mr. Mark’s removal.
In a statement Tuesday, the Ogun Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said DPO Mark had been redeployed to allow “smooth” investigations to be carried out.
