Why our vans can’t be neat like private vehicles — Police spokesman

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has explained why patrol vans used by the are usually dirty and scattered.

The spokesman said this in response to a question by a Twitter user on why the vans are always scattered and worn out.

Responding, Adejobi tweeted: “See, police patrol vans work 24 hrs.

“When u park your car in the evening, that’s when another team on night duty will take over the same vehicle for night patrol.

“Operational vehicles can’t be that neat like private vehicles.

“Anything operational looks rugged.

“So, the rigour these vehicles pass through make them look rough and dirty.

“Many of them ply bad roads, etc.

“However, we always encourage DPOs and HODs to try and put them in good shape.”
