An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) simply identified as Thompson, attached to Elemoro Police Station, Lagos, is under scrutiny for sending his bank account details to a man involved in an ongoing investigation.
The case involves a land dispute between Hon. Temitope Ogungbo, a local government official, and his brother, Israel Balogun.
Ogungbo had petitioned the police, prompting ASP Thompson to invite Israel for questioning. 
After sending the official invitation via text, Thompson followed up with another message containing his bank account details:
“That is the invitation I sent to him. Whatever is his response, I will forward it to you. This is my account number 2068831510, Zenith Bank, Thompson.”
The message raised concerns of attempted bribery, a serious offense within the police force.
Israel accused Ogungbo, Supervisor for Education in Ibeju Lekki, of orchestrating a violent attack against him over their late father’s land. The assault left him hospitalized with stab wounds.
He alleged Temitope threatened to use force and boasted of control over police and political figures.
Despite the threats, Israel reported the case but was attacked again later that night.
Now recovering, Israel is calling for public support, fearing further harm and possible police bias.
The police is yet to comment on Thompson’s conduct or the case.
