The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that it is taboo for him to receive bribe.
Adejobi led this out on Sunday, following the dismissal of a police Inspector, Adabo Mohammed, who was accused of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, among others.
Mohammed, alongside five others, was said to be a member of an armed robbery gang allegedly responsible for the stealing of N29.8 million from a victim in Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory.
The Force PRO in his reaction to comment over the dismissed officer, via his X handle, told a follower that it is not proper for a prince like him to engage in bribery.
