- Adejobi made this known on Monday on his official X page while engaging a user
- He made the remark in response to the X user who asked him to swear by his “village deity” that he had never accepted a bribe since joining the force
Spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, says he has never corruptly enriched himself or indulged in activities that cast the security agency in bad light.
Adejobi made this known on Monday on his official X page while engaging a user.
He made the remark in response to the X user who asked him to swear by his “village deity” that he had never accepted a bribe since joining the force.
The verified user asked the question after Adejobi wrote: “Police administrative bail is free. If anyone demands bail money, you too demand an invoice or receipt to prove payment. If he can’t issue it, dont pay. That is a fraud. I have said this severally. Thanks”.
The man then asked Adejobi if he had never been involved in bribery
Adejobi responded saying that since joining the police force in 2005, he has never collected bribe or accepted gifts.
He further disclosed that as a crowned prince of Owu, it would be shameful and embarrassing for him to obstruct the course of justice because of pecuniary gain.
“I have answered this. PR is in me. I joined NIPR in 2004 before I joined the police in 2005. I have been a PR man before I even applied to join the police. I even reject gifts. Many people on Twitter have been willing to recharge my phone, but i appeal to them not to do.
“Those who know me know I reject gifts, let alone bribe. I am a crowned prince of Owu, so it’s ridiculous to take a bribe. If you do well, Nigerians are very nice and ready to appreciate you, and bless you in all areas, if you are a nice officer,” the police PRO wrote
