The Deputy Commissioner of Operations in Delta, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has issued a warning to individuals who mount intense pressure on the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to release or pardon suspected criminals.
In a post shared on his official X handle on Monday, the former spokesperson for the NPF described such interventions as “shameful,” declaring that anyone who lobbies for the evasion of justice is “also a criminal.”
“I always maintain my stance and principles when it comes to fighting crimes and criminality. Don’t even bother to contact me, pleading for a criminal. It’s shameful, and it won’t work out well.

“Anyone begging and mounting pressure on the police and security agencies to release or pardon a criminal or overlook a crime is also a criminal,” he wrote.
