The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has warned against the continual negative portrayals of the Nigeria Police Force and other agencies of government, particularly to little ones in their formative ages.

This is against the backdrop of a viral video showing a man berating and warning his daughter against wanting to join the Police force.

The FPRO in a statement stressed that this could engender baseless hatred and antagonism against lawful institutions in the mind of children, even as they grow up.

He made particular reference to a video which trended recently where a man constantly rebuffed his daughter’s career choice to be a Police Officer.

He emphasized that policing is a noble profession and the fact that some individuals infuse their nefarious intentions and activities should not deter but rather encourage noble individuals to join up and serve diligently and honourably.

The Force PRO acknowledged that generally, security operatives are our Guardian Angels who have continually shown interest and put in their best to defend the country and protect lives and property as enshrined in the extant laws of the land.

He urged members of the public to do everything possible to encourage them, not to castigate them.
