The Digest:

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, has sparked widespread criticism after celebrating security efforts around Hilda Baci's jollof rice event while Nigerians highlighted ongoing security crises nationwide.

Key Points:
  • The PRO boasted that "not a single person stole the pot of rice" as evidence of real security
  • Social media users immediately highlighted recent attacks on Abuja-Kaduna road and other regions
  • Critics questioned police priorities when citizens face daily kidnappings and violence
  • Many noted the irony of celebrating pot security while unable to protect human lives
  • Some users suggested testing security capabilities by cooking in conflict zones like Sambisa
  • The statement was widely perceived as insensitive to Nigeria's actual security challenges
  • The PRO engaged critics directly, refusing to apologize for the controversial statement
The incident highlights the growing disconnect between official security narratives and citizens' lived experiences of violence and instability.
