Summary of Allegations Involving AIG Moshood Jimoh, Commander of Zone 2 in Lagos

The principal accusations against Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Moshood Jimoh, who leads the Zone 2 Command in Lagos, revolve around corruption, evidence manipulation, and violations of human rights.

The main charges were presented in late July and early August 2026 by social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, commonly referred to as VeryDarkMan (VDM).VDM claimed that AIG Jimoh interfered with the investigations into two notable homicides in the Ajiran/Eti-Osa region of Lagos—the 2023 killing of Sheriff Salami and the 2024 murder of Prince Ademola Akinloye.The activist accused AIG Jimoh of colluding with a businessman to falsely accuse and frame another individual, Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi, for these murders. VDM contended that initial confessions from suspects did not mention Akanbi, but later statements that connected him to the crimes were allegedly obtained through severe coercion and torture by officers under Jimoh's authority.Further intensifying the scrutiny, civil society organizations such as the #EndBadGovernance Movement (Lagos Chapter) issued public statements calling for Jimoh’s suspension. They argue that the Ajiran case is merely a fragment of a larger, persistent pattern of human rights abuses, police brutality, and misuse of power throughout his career.The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has initiated administrative measures to address these allegations, although they stress that no guilt has been determined in a court of law.The NPF confirmed that the Assistant Inspector-General overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) has officially summoned AIG Moshood Jimoh for questioning as part of an internal administrative inquiry.The FCID has also formally invited VDM to come to Abuja to validate his claims and present his documentary evidence. Initially, VDM resisted the invitation, insisting on an independent investigative panel rather than a conventional police review, citing concerns over potential bias.The police have reiterated that the actual murder case is currently before a court and remains sub judice. They have cautioned against any interference with the ongoing legal proceedings. Jimoh was born on August 10, 1971, in Ilorin. He joined the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as a cadet officer on May 1, 2000. Throughout his career, which spans over twenty years, he has progressed through various key operational and administrative roles.
