In a post shared on X, Adekunle expressed appreciation to the Lagos State Police Command’s Complaint Response Unit for its swift action after his public complaint about being harassed and detained by police officers.

He wrote, “In the last few days, the only news you’ve heard from me has been difficult, but I would like to share some good news. I want to thank the Lagos State Police Command Complaint Response Unit for their prompt attention to this matter — from reaching out to following up to ensure everything was okay.”

The reality TV star commended ACP Oluyemisi Ojo of the Area J Command, Elemoro, Ibeju-Lekki, for leading the investigation and ensuring accountability.

“I have been in talks with the ACP in charge of Area J Command, providing her with all necessary details. I’m happy to report that the officers were found, and disciplinary action has been taken against them,” Adekunle confirmed.

The Adekunle police brutality case had sparked widespread public concern, prompting calls for stronger accountability within the Nigeria Police Force.

“Justice has been served,” he wrote. “It’s encouraging to see justice delivered at a time when public trust in the police is low. For anyone who has suffered police harassment, please report it and gather evidence — the Complaint Response Unit works.”

Adekunle urged Nigerians to remain vigilant during the festive season, warning that while many officers perform their duties honourably, rogue elements still pose risks.

“I shouldn’t have experienced what I went through, and neither should any Nigerian simply going about their business,” he said. “Harassment is unacceptable, and no one deserves to go through that.”

Concluding his post, Adekunle thanked fans and well-wishers for their support. “For all the messages, calls, prayers, and love I received, I am truly grateful. It’s a blessing to know I was not alone during this period.”
