His tenure was marred by accusations of repression, misconduct, and abuse of office.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adejobi was often accused of shielding the Force from accountability, clamping down on dissent, and using social media as a tool to suppress critics. Internally, senior officers described him as being entangled in what they termed \u201cwomen issues.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite these allegations, he was controversially promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), a move that triggered public outrage and raised concerns about his fitness for senior office.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recall that human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju\u00a0 petitioned the U.S. Embassy to revoke Adejobi\u2019s visa, citing his alleged role in repressing dissent. Among his accusers were nurse Olamide Thomas, who alleged retaliation after rejecting his advances, and UK-based Dorcas Adeyinka, who claimed she was falsely framed for murder and later sued him for violating her rights.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In one incident that drew widespread condemnation, Adejobi was accused of instructing a cameraman, Aku Victor Chimerie, to steal activist Omoyele Sowore\u2019s Ray-Ban glasses during the #PoliceProtest. The glasses were later returned after Sowore exposed the culprit\u2019s identity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reacting to his redeployment, Sowore, a former presidential candidate, wrote on X:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have said this before, and I will keep saying it: Muyiwa Adejobi @Princemoye1 is one of the worst policemen ever recruited into the Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">His conduct is not just a personal failure; it is a testament to the rot within the system that rewards mediocrity, dishonesty, and shamelessness while punishing integrity. But we&#8217;ve come to a point where this impunity must be stopped permanently. #RevolutionNow #EgbetokunMustGO!\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sowore\u2019s comments followed a police statement signed by Adejobi defending his recent arrest. The police claimed Sowore was detained over allegations of forgery and cyberstalking, denied reports that his hand was broken, and insisted he was granted bail within 48 hours.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Witnesses, however, alleged that Sowore was assaulted by at least eight officers attached to Adejobi\u2019s office before being moved to an undisclosed location.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adejobi\u2019s exit is seen by many as the end of a turbulent era for the Force\u2019s public relations machinery, with Hundeyin now tasked to restore credibility and public trust.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi Lagos State Police Command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, has been appointed as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), taking over from Muyiwa Adejobi, who&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":121894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
