The Nigerian Police Force has reacted to viral photos of young Fulani men posing with large sums of cash, allegedly earned as ransom for kidnapped victims. The images sparked public outcry, questioning the police’s inaction.
Force PRO, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, responded, “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.”
Adejobi emphasized the efforts of the security forces, saying, “The armed forces and the police are trying their best. We need to recognize and appreciate the collective efforts and individualistic involvement in tackling insecurity and other vices in Nigeria.”
He reassured the public, “One thing is sure, no criminal will go unpunished.”
