The long-serving Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi, has been removed from his post at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
His deputy is expected to take over as he proceeds to the Delta State Command.
Adejobi, who for years served as the public face of the Police Force, leaves behind a trail of alleged scandals. 
At the Force Headquarters, he was repeatedly accused of repressing social media users, shielding the institution from accountability, and serving as the regime’s blunt instrument against dissent.
Within the Force itself, senior officers openly described him as being entangled in what they called “women issues.”
Despite this, Adejobi was promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), a move that raised eyebrows both within and outside the Force.
The promotion did not silence his critics, and instead, it intensified public outrage and sharpened questions about his conduct and fitness for the senior role.
His tenure also drew international scrutiny.
Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju petitioned the United States Embassy, urging it to revoke Adejobi’s visa over his role in repressing dissent and abusing his office.
Among those he allegedly victimised was Olamide Thomas, a nurse who accused him of retaliating against her after she rejected his sexual advances.
Another was Dorcas Adeyinka, a UK-based woman who accused Adejobi of framing her for murder; she later sued him for abuse of her fundamental human rights.
