It’s Unfair To Generalise Police As Corrupt — FPRO
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has cautioned against stereotyping the entire police force as corrupt.
In a post on X.com on Saturday, Adejobi emphasised that many police officers are decent and God-fearing individuals who work to protect citizens’ lives and property with integrity and self-esteem.
He wrote, “It’s unfair to generalise that the Police and corruption are 5 and 6, as many officers in the force are decent and even have the fear of God; who have conscience, are responsible, contented, and kind.
“Don’t trample on the rights of the police officers who work day and night to protect the lives and property of the citizen, with self-esteem and integrity.
In another development, a 21-year-old notorious bandit leader, Salisu Mohammed, popularly known as Dogo Saleh, met his end at the hands of his gang members after being arrested by the operatives of FCT Police Command.
