Abuja, Nigeria – Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), has publicly addressed a user’s claim on X that “there’s no single good officer in this country,” calling the statement misleading and harmful to officers’ morale.
In a direct response posted on his verified X handle, @Princemoye1, Adejobi defended the dedication of NPF officers, emphasizing their tireless efforts to ensure peace and security across the country.
“This general statement is misleading and demoralising. There are many good officers of the NPF who work day and night to make sure we enjoy peace and security in the country,” Adejobi wrote.
“So, this your submission is capable of killing their morale. Let’s be guided. Good day. Thanks.”
Adejobi’s statement reflects his ongoing efforts to improve public perception of the NPF and highlight the contributions of its officers.
He argued that blanket generalizations unfairly overshadow the hard work of many officers who risk their lives daily.
The NPF has faced significant public criticism in recent years, with some citizens pointing to isolated cases of misconduct.
Adejobi has consistently encouraged Nigerians to report specific incidents of misconduct for investigation rather than resorting to broad condemnations.
