The South West Youth Alliance has condemned what it described as an irresponsible and malicious statement by activist Deji Adeyanju, in which he referred to former Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Muyiwa Adejobi, as “the most useless Force PRO in the history of the Nigerian Police.”
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Adenike Ajanlekoko, the group said Adeyanju’s remarks were not only false but unbecoming of someone who parades himself as a lawyer and activist.
According to the Alliance, Adejobi’s tenure as Force PRO was marked by professionalism, discipline, and transparency, which strengthened the Police Public Relations Department across Commands and Zones of the Nigeria Police Force.
The statement noted that Adejobi never acted in ignoble ways as alleged, but rather built a credible image for the Force, bridged the gap between the police and the public, and carried out his duties in a law-abiding and exemplary manner.
The group also faulted Adeyanju’s call for a visa ban on Adejobi, describing it as reckless, misleading, and an attempt to seek cheap popularity. It urged the Nigerian Bar Association, the Body of Benchers, and the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee to caution Adeyanju, stressing that his conduct was bringing the legal profession into disrepute.
“The South West Youth Alliance remains steadfast in defending the integrity of law-abiding public officers like DCP Muyiwa Adejobi, whose service to the nation stands above cheap propaganda and mischief,” the statement added.
