Operatives from the Special Tactical Squad (STS) from Abuja, on Saturday, served a letter of invitation on the home of the Dakolos in Lagos.

Following criticism that trailed the manner in which the operatives of the STS unit served the letter on the Dakolos, the police said: “The IGP has directed that the procedure which the police operatives adopted in serving invitation letters on Timi and Busola Dakolo on Saturday, July 20, be subjected to rigorous and discreet scrutiny to ascertain its conformity with police standard operating procedure and international best practices.”

The police chief urged members of the public and the parties involved in the cases to remain calm and patient, assured of professionalism in the matter.
