Police to sue organisers over CP’s picture on flyers

The Police Command in Lagos State says it has begun legal action against the organisers of a program who used the name and picture of the state commissioner of police, Mr. Olarenwaju Ishola, on its flyers as a guest without his consent.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, made this known in a post he shared on his X handle, @benHundeyin, on Wednesday.

He said that the command was not involved with the program.

“The command wishes to alert the general public that the command is not aware of a program tagged ‘Global Property Conference’ whose flyer carries the name and picture of CP Ishola.

“The command hereby confirms that the flyer is the handiwork of mischief makers planning to use the name and picture of CP to confer legitimacy and endorsement on the said program.

“Members of the public are urged to disregard the purported link of CP Ishola with the program.

“The Command has begun necessary legal action against the organisers of the program,"” he said.

The program, tagged ‘Global Property Conference’, was scheduled to hold on Nov. 9 at Land Mark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
