He advised citizens who raised concerns that Police Officers in patrol vans disobey traffic rules and signs there by causing traffic conjestions.
Adejobi in clarification said, “Like I always say, to every rule, there must be an exception. Those on essential services are exempted. Security operatives, medical services, fire service, etc are exempted. Even if they must violate this rule, they must do with caution because it won’t be nice or palatable to knock down any pedestrian on the zebra crossing as well. But they are exempted. So don’t do like them, becuase you are not the same.”
