The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday, said he doesn’t collect bribes because doing so is taboo to him as a prince.
He also described the collection of bribes as “ungodly.”
Adejobi noted that such acts result in putting some other people in a state of sorrow.
The Force PRO stated this while replying to a user on X.com who had asked him the question earlier.
“Have you taken a bribe before?” Valentine Kruze tweeting as #ValentineKruz14 had asked.
Adejobi, a prince born to Oba Moses Adejobi, the late Olowu of Orile-Owu, in the Ayedade Local Government Area of Osun State, responded via his X handle #Princemoye1, noting, “No. It’s taboo for a royal prince to take a bribe. Taking a bribe definitely makes someone somewhere cry for many reasons, and it’s ungodly to do so.
“Your main purpose in life is to put smiles on people’s faces. It’s Godly and rewarding. It’s my personal principle and a call to duty.
“I preach this to my colleagues and many others always. May we have the grace to remain steadfast and purposeful in life.”
This follows the dismissal of a police Inspector, Adabo Mohammed, who was accused of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, among others.
Mohammed, alongside five others, was said to be a member of an armed robbery gang allegedly responsible for the stealing of N29.8 million from a victim in Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory.
Adejobi, on Friday, had stated the resolve of the Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun to ensure the commitment of the police operatives to uphold professional standards within the Force.
