The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, said he was removed as a police officer by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo because of the 2003 elections.
The Oba said said Atiku Abubakar, ex-vice president and Lawal Daura, director-general of Department of State Services (DSS) were able to convince Obasanjo to retire him because the Police Service Commission (PSC) “is a toothless bull-dog,'' THE CABLE reports.
Akiolu who was retired from the police force in 2002 said, ''Atiku, Daura and others sat down and advised President Obasanjo that if he wanted to win Lagos in 2003, I should be removed. It was written on paper.''
The monarch said the former president “did not know anything about it. He had to send for the Inspector-General of Police (IG) because the then Chief of Staff challenged the plan to retire me.
“For someone to sit at the PSC and determine who retires from the police is unfair. This is not how to run a very efficient and effective police force.”
