Ogun police under fire over tweet advertising PRO’s ‘beautiful face’
The Ogun state police has left tongues wagging on social media after the command shared a promotional post on Omotola Odutola, its spokesperson.
On Saturday, the handler of the command’s X — the rebranded name for Elon Musk’s Twitter — page eulogised Odutola while describing her as an “exceptional officer who is different from others”.
The tweet also paid attention to Odutola’s “beautiful, gorgeous and radiant face”.
The post was accompanied by the phone number of the spokesperson.
“Have u (you) seen a beautiful officer today. A seasoned police officer that is different from Olopa. See the gorgeous and radiant face of your humble, brilliant, foremost, viable and indeed indefatigable Ogun state PRO, SP Omotola Odutola, anipr, psc. She can be reached on 09159578888,” the post reads.

The post has continued to elicit a wave of mixed reactions on the platform.
While some users commended the PRO’s “beauty”, others argued that it is an “unprofessional” attempt by the command to get validation from the public.
A few other users also insinuated that the tweet is an attempt to “get a male suitor” for Odutola.
“As an officer of the law, it is very wrong for you to use your uniform and using your police command to tweet this kind of stuffs, the Nigerian police seriously needs to discipline you and your likes,” a user wrote.
“Pimping your female officers, no?” another user asked.
