The Police Public Relations Officer of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, has advised married couples to refrain from sharing details of their marriages on social media platforms. In a post on her social media handle, Adeh encouraged couples to utilize these platforms for business promotion instead of showcasing personal relationships.
She wrote, “All these married couples showing off love on social media. I don’t want to hear complaints oooo. Keep your happy homes off social media. Use the social media platforms to promote your businesses.”
This advice comes amid an increase in complaints received by the FCT Police Complaint Response Unit (PCRU) in the last two months, with many of them reportedly originating from married individuals. According to a PCRU source, couples in the FCT have been reaching out to the police to express concerns about their partners’ social media activities and how these posts negatively impact their marriages.
The PCRU officer stated, “I think the PRO is just very concerned because most of the complaints that we have received at the PCRU over the past two months have been from married people. A lot of these married people living in the FCT have been calling us to complain about the content that their partners post on social media and how it sometimes affects them in negative ways.”
