Late DCP Adejobi, a Prince from the ancient city of Orile Owu in Osun State reportedly passed away on Sunday, April 6, 2025, after a brief illness as confirmed by a family source.
Adejobi until his death was the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations for Oyo State Police Command.
His death comes as a rude shock not only to the police force but also to his family, as he was the elder brother of the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who is currently grieving the loss.
CP Johnson Adenola in a Service of Songs organised by the Oyo State Police Command in honour of the deceased at the Command’s Headquarters، Eleyele, Ibadan, the Capital City of Oyo State, said the memory of the late Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Akinade Adejobi, would motivate officers and men of the command to strive for excellence and integrity.
CP Adenola described the late Adejobi as a devoted and gallant officer, who truly served the command, the Nigeria Police force and the country in general.
Adenola said that the deceased was a dedicated, hardworking and committed officer who was still working even while on sick bed to ensure crime reduction in the state.
“The Oyo State Police Command and Nigeria as a whole will greatly miss him because he still had many years of service ahead before his premature demise.
