The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has retracted his statements in which he admitted receiving a pass from a Federal Road Safety Officer while on a call on Tuesday.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the police spokesperson had said he was on a call while driving, and a road safety officer gave him a pass after hearing him speak to a Divisional Police Officer (DPO).
Twitter users criticised him for publicly admitting to breaking a traffic law, with some describing it as arrogance and bragging about being corrupt.
He wrote, “It did not even happen, because I don’t drive myself while on duty, except off duty, and road safety officers don’t operate beyond 6 pm, or max 7 pm. I only tested the strength of fake news, and we can see how it is spreading like a harmattan inferno.”
