….. Congratulate Him on New Posting
The Coalition for Good Governance (CGG) has dismissed as false and misleading a report published by online platform Sahara Reporters, which claimed that the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Muyiwa Adejobi, was dismissed or removed from office following protests allegedly staged by Mr. Omoyele Sowore and his associates.
In a press statement released on Tuesday and signed by Olalekan Johnson, the Coalition described the report as “a product of malicious desperation” targeted at undermining the professional trajectory of one of the Nigeria Police Force’s most celebrated spokespersons. According to the statement, Adejobi’s redeployment to the Delta State Command as Deputy Commissioner of Police was in line with his recent promotion, marking yet another milestone in a distinguished career of service and excellence.
The Coalition noted that Adejobi’s rise within the Force has been a product of hard work, integrity, and exceptional professionalism. Beginning his career as a public relations officer in Ogun State, Adejobi quickly distinguished himself as a highly resourceful and articulate image maker, a quality that saw him serve in similar capacities at the Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, and later at the Lagos State Police Command. His outstanding performance in these roles led to his appointment as the Force Public Relations Officer at the national headquarters, where he earned the respect of both the media and the general public for his prompt, transparent, and credible communication.
“DCP Adejobi has given the Force an enviable reputation as one of the finest image managers in the country’s security sector. His redeployment to head operations as Deputy Commissioner in Delta State is in recognition of his new rank and a testament to his competence,” the Coalition stated.
Dismissing Sahara Reporters’ claims as baseless, the group described the publication as “yet another attempt by Omoyele Sowore to distract and discredit officers who have built illustrious careers in the service of the nation.” It added that Adejobi’s credibility and professionalism remain intact, while the Police hierarchy under the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, continues to demonstrate commitment to merit-based postings and reforms within the Force.
The Coalition congratulated DCP Adejobi on his new posting, pledging its continued support for him as he assumes duties in Delta State. It also reaffirmed confidence in the leadership of the IGP, noting that the Police Force under his stewardship has consistently placed competence and dedication at the forefront of appointments and promotions.
