Nigerian Police Spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi Creates Another Fake Group "Ndigbo Young Professionals" To Spread IGP Egbetokun's Propaganda, Silence Media Critics

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi, have brought up another phony group to spread propaganda that support the IGP's illegal stay in office and to counter truthful media reporting of his excesses. 

SaharaReporters learnt on Saturday from top sources that the latest PR group is "the Ndigbo Young Professionals" led by one self-acclaimed ambassador, Chukwuemeka Chionoso.

The development followed earlier reports by SaharaReporters, which highlighted that Egbetokun is leading a police force hampered by corruption and the total absence of statutory allocations for the first two quarters of this year.

"After SaharaReporters exposed IGP Kayode Egbetokun's use of a fake third-party PR team known as “The South West Youth Alliance” led by one Adenike Ajanlekoko, the IGP and Force PRO Muyiwa Adejobi have created another South-Eastern sounding fake PR entity to counter truthful reporting about his shenanigans as he continues illegally in office," the source revealed. 

"The new one is "The Ndigbo Young Professionals." And Muyiwa's office is also trying to create another one from the north. These phony groups are operated directly by Muyuwa and the IGP because the police hierarchy has opposed using the office of PPRO to do dirty personal PR jobs for the IGP," the source added. 

Police sources added that the police PRO units across the country had been starved of funds and Muyiwa had allegedly requested that the units clear any information to be released from his office. 

The said phony group, NYP, in a purported release on Saturday said it registered its "deepest concern and unequivocal condemnation of the reckless, dishonest, and profoundly irresponsible publication recently circulated by SaharaReporters." 

The National Coordinator, Ambassador Chukwuemeka Chionoso, said "Sahara Reporters falsely claimed that Rebecca Omokamo Godwin Isaac — also known as Becky or Bilikisu Ishaku Aliyu — is a female associate of the Inspector General of Police.

"From our understanding, a female associate might be an employee who is at a certain level within a company, often involved in specific projects or roles that contribute to the organisation’s success.

"Also, it could refer to any woman who is part of a team or collaborative effort, contributing her skills and expertise." 

Ambassador Chukwuemeka Chionoso stated that, based on the above, Rebecca Omokamo Godwin Isaac, also known as Becky or Bilikisu Ishaku Aliyu, is a real estate developer, while Kayode Egbetokun is a Nigerian police officer who serves as the current and 22nd Inspector General of Police.

"We see the Sahara Reporters publication as an orchestrated attack on Egbetokun's reputation. A complete fabrication. A provocation. And, worse still, despite several clarifications from the Force spokesperson, Sahara Reporters keeps associating Egbetokun with Rebecca Isaac.

Ambassador Chukwuemeka Chionoso dismissed the publication that "Egbetokun ordered the arraignment of Rebecca and her husband before Justice Sadiya Mayana at the FCT High Court 23, Gudu, under Charge No: CR/007/2025, for forgery and fraud" as false; it is the office of the Inspector General of Police that charges suspects to court and not Egbetokun." 

SaharaReporters had on June 10 reported that rather than using formal channels to respond to the issues raised, police authorities had turned to an unofficial mouthpiece — the South West Youth Alliance (SWYA) — to propagate a more favourable public image and discredit the investigative reports.

Multiple senior officers within the Nigeria Police Force had also informed SaharaReporters that, as of 2025, no funds have been released for routine operations across commands and departments.

They described this as an unprecedented situation in the history of the NPF.

Police sources revealed that commands and departments had not received the necessary quarterly allocations required to sustain operations and maintain essential services.

As a result, they have been forced to rely on funds acquired through extortion and other corrupt practices to keep police stations running.

Meanwhile, a senior police officer commented on the questionable ties between police authorities and SWYA, expressing concerns about their alliance.

“The IGP Egbetokun and Muyiwa Adejobi have been using SWYA to bypass the PRO’s office or official police communication channels to address issues and for propaganda,” the police source told SaharaReporters.

In May, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that Adejobi had been using SWYA to spread propaganda and launder the police's public image.

SaharaReporters also reported that Adejobi had turned to the group to circumvent the official Police Public Relations Office after police management recommended his dismissal.

Also, following the #EgbetokunMustGo protest in April, SWYA organised a counter-protest urging Egbetokun to remain in office.

The #EgbetokunMustGo protest, led by activist Omoyele Sowore in Abuja, had demanded Egbetokun’s removal, citing concerns over his continued tenure despite allegedly reaching retirement age. Protesters carried placards and voiced grievances about police brutality, corruption, and the perceived politicisation of the police force.

Furthermore, in April, the group warned Sowore over his claims about the police’s alleged plan to detain TikToker Ogunsanwo Olumide John, known as @Seaking303, accusing him of raising a false alarm.

In a statement released by its National Coordinator, Taiwo Adegbenga, SWYA urged the police to prosecute Sowore for spreading false information, adding that such an offence warranted a jail sentence.

“Section 59 of the Criminal Code addresses publishing false statements that cause fear and alarm. The penalty is imprisonment for up to three years,” the group said.
