NIGERIA Police Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that he never accepted bribes or gifts of any kind since joining the organisation in 2005.
Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) said this on Monday while responding to an X (Twitter] user who asked him to “swear by his village deity” that he had never accepted a bribe since joining the Police Force.
The user posed 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, don’t pay. That is a fraud. I have said this several times. Thanks”.
The man went on to ask Adejobi if he had ever been involved in bribery.
Adejobi responded by saying that since joining the police force in 2005, he has never accepted bribes.
The police spokesperson further disclosed that as a crowned prince of Owu, it would be “ridiculous” for him to accept bribes.
“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 rejected gifts. Many people on Twitter have been willing to recharge my phone, but I appeal to them not to do so.
“Those who know me know I reject gifts, let alone bribes. 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.
