EndSARS didn't address police reform
He noted that the movement did not address better pay for police because the Force lost so many things to the crisis as the agitators lost grip, control and focus of their aim for the movement.

Speaking further, Adejobi said:
"Well, I don’t like discussing #EndSARS for many reasons. However, it has become a history and reference point for many discussions today across the globe.
"I was involved in the crisis. It was not entirely a protest. I was the PPRO in Lagos State which was the epicentre of the #EndSARS protest then. It was terrible."
Adejobi speaks on what police's greatest loss
He affirmed thus:
"The original agitators had some protests but they lost grip, control and focus. So, personally, I was not convinced that #EndSARS was meant to reform the police because the police lost so many things to the crisis, including lives and property.
"You cannot claim to speak for me and still kill me."
