ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force, recently found himself responding to a troll on social media. The incident occurred after Adejobi posted a video in which he discussed the security measures put in place during the Edo state gubernatorial election.

In the comment section of the video, a social media user labeled Adejobi as an “APC police officer,” suggesting that he was biased in favor of the ruling political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The troll’s comment hinted that Adejobi was serving the interests of the party rather than remaining neutral in his role.

Rather than ignoring the remark, Adejobi decided to address the accusation. He responded publicly to clarify his position and emphasized that he was doing his duty as a police officer, which is to serve the public and ensure security during the election process. His response was a way of standing up against the insinuation that he, or the police, were politically biased in their work.

The situation has drawn attention to the broader issue of public trust in law enforcement and their role in political matters, especially during elections in Nigeria.

This exchange highlights the increasing interaction between public figures and citizens on social media, where comments and criticisms can quickly gain attention. Adejobi’s decision to respond directly showcases the importance of addressing misconceptions in order to maintain public confidence.
