Reacting in similar vein, the Force spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, took to his official twitter handle to frown at the act where some lawless members of the public always assault police officers on duty.

Adejobi said: “In as much as we strive hard to respect people’s dignity, rights, we deserve to be respected as well.”
