The Nigerian Police Force is one of the key institutions in the country, tasked with maintaining law and order and protecting the citizens. Over the years, the NPF has faced criticism over issues such as corruption, brutality, and inefficiency. These challenges have often led to a negative perception of the police force among the public.

One way in which the police force is portrayed in popular culture is through movies, where actors play the roles of police officers. In Nigeria, the movie industry, also known as Nollywood, is one of the largest in Africa, with a significant global audience. Actors in the industry often play diverse roles, including that of police officers.

Mr Owolabi Ajasa is one of the prominent actors in the Yoruba movie industry in Nigeria. He is known for playing the role of police officers who are committed to their duties and refuse to accept bribes. Through his consistent portrayal of honest and upright police officers, Mr Ajasa has earned praise from many police officers, including the Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

In his statement, Mr Adejobi not only praised Mr Ajasa for his efforts but also called on other stakeholders in the entertainment industry to regulate the use of police kits and accoutrements in movies. This call was made to ensure that the use of these items does not cause any tension or friction between the police and the entertainment industry.

Mr Adejobi’s statement highlights the importance of responsible portrayal of the police force in popular culture. By showcasing the police force in a positive light, movies and other forms of entertainment can contribute to changing the negative perception of the police force among the public. Additionally, by regulating the use of police kits and accoutrements in movies, the entertainment industry can help to foster a positive relationship with the police force, promoting a safer and more conducive environment for all stakeholders.
