OGUN STATE POLICE COMMAND REFUTES ALLEGATION OF PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST DPO AJUWON

 

The attention of the Ogun State Police Command has been drawn to an allegation of professional misconduct made against the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ajuwon Division by one Philip Adaramola. The Command wishes to categorically refute the claims and provide a factual account of the incident.

On 2nd July, 2025, officers attached to Ajuwon Division, while conducting routine stop-and-search operation at Olambe Matogun, in Ogun State apprehended Samson Joseph Osamuye, a 25-year-old male, in possession of substances suspected to be hard drugs. The suspect was promptly taken into custody for further investigation.

While the officers were performing this lawful duty, Philip Adaramola appeared at the scene and exhibited aggressive and disruptive behaviour. He used unprintable language on the officers, issued threats, and obstructed lawful arrest of the suspect.

Upon arrival at the station, Adaramola escalated his conduct by physically assaulting Sergeant Merotiwon Babajide, delivering a blow to his hand without provocation. He was made to write a statement under caution and is scheduled to be arraigned in court on 3rd July, 2025.

The Command remains steadfast in upholding professional policing standards and will not condone any act of indiscipline by police officers as well as unlawful interference in the duties of its officers.
