Police must stop profiling of Nigerian youths – Mr Macaroni replies Force PRO, Adejobi

 Famous Nigerian content creator and activist, Adebowale Debo
Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has reacted to the response of the
Nigeria Police spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi over the use of an expensive
phone by a female officer.

 

Recall that Adejobi had on Friday, shared a photo of a
female officer and the secretary to the Inspector General of Police IGP, DSP
David Victoria, on his official X.

 

Commenting on the controversial post, some Nigerians on
social media, who were quick to notice the cost of a Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 phone
the officer was holding, with an expensive watch, pointed that she shouldn’t be able to afford the phone with
her salary as a police woman.

 

Quoting Adejobi post, an X user @Akintomide wrote: “A civil
servant (DSP) with a phone worth close to a million. lol. Ire o.”

 

Responding to him, Adejobi threatened the X user to withdraw
his statement. He noted that police officers are not paupers.

 

“Police officers are not paupers. Withdraw your statement.
It’s ridiculous to us to say a DSP can’t use Samsung fold 2. You need to reason
straight and be objective. Do you know what it is to be a DSP?” He wrote.

 

Reacting to Adejobi’s comment, Mr Macaroni stated the need
for the Nigeria police to also withdraw every statement they have made
profiling Nigerian youths when they see expensive items.

 

“You will also romance intimidation and harassment because
that is what you give to Nigerian youths everyday.

 

“Nigerian Youths are not paupers! Over 95% of the Nigerian
Police will need to withdraw their statements and profiling of Nigerian youths
that we have been made to suffer since all these years.

 

“It’s ridiculous to us to say a Nigerian youth can’t use a
nice phone or dress nice or use a nice car. You and your officers need to
reason straight and be objective. Do you know what it is to be a Nigerian
Youth?” He queried.
