The Force spokesman added that appreciating police officers by giving them gifts on the road will put them in serious trouble.
Adejobi asked Nigerians to always follow due process in appreciating police officers by going to their offices and meeting their superiors.
Speaking further, Adejobi said the constabularies dismissed for attempted extortion of Dutch Rider in Oyo State are not police personnel.
Recall that the Oyo State Police Commissioner, Adebola Hamzat, ordered the immediate dismissal of two members of the special constabulary working with the state command over allegations of extortion.
The affected officers are Jimoh Lukman and Kareem Fatai.
The personnel were paraded at the Oyo State Police Command, Eleyele, Ibadan, on Wednesday, where their dismissal was announced.
In a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, CP Hamzat said the dismissal of the two constables was in response to a recommendation from an orderly room investigation.
It would be recalled that a video went viral weeks ago showing the two police officers asking a Dutch tourist for money.
