The Spokesperson of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the public should use their efforts as the operatives of the Force cannot arrest all criminal elements in the country at the same time.
Adejobi, in a post via X, was responding to three pictures posted by an X user showing suspected terrorists displaying bundles of naira notes suspected to be kidnapping proceeds.
The user captioned the post: “They are now posing with the ransom money. Showing that they are balling.”
But reacting the Force PRO said, “We can’t apprehend all the criminals at once. At least, appreciate us for the ones we have arrested. We arrest them daily, in large numbers.
“The armed forces and the police are trying their best. Efforts of security forces should be seen, noticed, and appreciated. We need to look towards having the collective efforts and individualistic involvement in tackling insecurity and other vices in Nigeria.”
However, some X users have reacted to the post.
@smartakukoma: “So kidnapping and banditry can’t be tracked in 2hrs but Cyberstalking can. Mr Police Officer, you are not being truthful to your job there’s something you all are not telling us.”
@symplyDAPO: “With all due respect, you guys are not doing much when it comes to this terrorist. You mean you can’t trace their phone calls or money transfers.”
@Daddy_Tweens: “You guys seem to have swift intelligence that some people want to hijack protest weeks or days before the protest. Why is the swift intelligence not applicable to these bandits? The “intelligence radar” no stretch reach that side?”
@de_generalnoni: “Are you saying you can’t track them??? Don’t you guys have good hàckêr???”
@BN_officially: “Well on a more positive note, at least you’re active on social media and fairly reachable.”
