According to the DSP, he was a vibrant critic of the Nigerian Police, he had written worst articles bashing the force with his Magazine publications and social media engagement. However, the story changed the moment he was called to the force after reluctantly picking up the form. He was convinced by his mom to pursue his new path of career.
Finally standing up to his decision, he changed from criticizing the police to creating a positive image. He suffered several backlashes from his Facebook friends who never knew he had joined the Police Force. As a result, he sourced for a new social environment to reflect the positivity, hence, Instagram became the place.
