Adejobi condemned the spread of misinformation and unverified content intended to discredit the Nigeria Police Force. He reiterated that under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, the Force remains committed to upholding discipline, professionalism, and public safety.

The statement clarified, “The viral video circulating in the media, which shows uniformed personnel in camouflage scooping fuel from the wreckage of an accident tanker, is part of a campaign to discredit the Nigeria Police Force. It is important to note that these individuals are not officers of the Nigeria Police. They are personnel from a neighbouring francophone country, and their uniforms, while similar to ours, are not Nigerian. Moreover, the individuals are speaking in French, not a Nigerian language or English.”

Adejobi further condemned the spread of such false information, stressing that it not only damages the reputation of the police but also has serious implications for national unity. He called on Nigerians to verify information before sharing it and to exercise caution to protect the credibility of institutions dedicated to public safety.

“The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of the IGP, remains unwavering in its commitment to discipline, professionalism, and ensuring the safety and security of Nigerians. Acts that seek to damage the reputation of the Force are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Adejobi added. He urged citizens to verify information and help preserve national unity and trust in public institutions.
