Our correspondent learnt that Okeke who has barely a month to retire from the Force was posted back to head SARS following incessant bank robberies at Ikorodu area of the state.
A police source said :”The Lagos State police command is embarrassed by the incessant bank robberies in the state. The CP is under pressure from the Force Headquarters and the Lagos State government to stop the increasing bank robberies in the state. He had to call on old hands to
help fish out the armed robbers so he settled for DSP Okeke. The CP was under pressure to recall the former OC SARS Abba Kyari but there are several petitions against Kyari over extra judicial killing of suspects under his watch and the Force headquarters is investigating
him”.
