The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this however said those officers were being severely punished.
Hundeyin made this known while featuring on a Twitter Space organised hosted by Daily Trust on Wednesday.
He said, “In every organisation, you would have those officers that would always undermine the efforts of the organisation. I’ve heard about officers working in cahoot with internet fraudsters. These officers are treated worse than the internet fraudsters.
