Ex-police spokesman laments moral decline after Delta church robbery

DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who previously served as spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, has criticized what he described as declining moral standards in Nigeria. His comments followed reports of an armed robbery in Delta State. Lawrence Onowenakpo, 45, was taken into custody on September 19. According to the report, he and other gang members who fled were stopped while traveling in two Toyota Sienna vehicles carrying musical instruments that had allegedly been taken from a church. In a social media post, Adejobi said that in earlier times, churches were places where people sought safety, but cases such as kidnapping and armed robbery have now become repeated occurrences.
