        He is succeeding in a big way. He has a direct approach; hands on participation in hot topics of the day affecting most especially the youths. @YomiShogunle has a style of communication which is uncommon among police officers in Nigeria. Kudos to him👍

        Yes, he can succeed with the support of Nigerians. This is the first time in the history of this country that the Nigerian Police has a well structured and disciplinary body to check and sanction erring, gross misconduct, power-drunk and corrupt Police officers.

        If only @YomiShogunle and the entire @PoliceNG_PCRRU unit can make their presence at every police station very visible/accessible to even the unlettered who are mostly victims of police daily oppression.
