Adeyinka, who retired alongside his colleagues, as a member of April 1, 1991 PCI intakes, called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Inspector General Of Police, Tunji Disu to find a way of scraping the Police Contributory Pension Scheme because it is yet to serve the purpose it was created for.

The retired police DSP who entertained guests and colleagues at a well attended reception told the gathering that policing is one of the dangerous professions because it involves total commitment and one could be killed or maimed anytime.
In his words, “why should we retire after 35 years of meritorious service to the nation only to be given a meagre three million naira (N3 million).”
While thanking God for coming out unscathed, Askari Fuji thanked the Nigerian Police Force for the opportunity to combine his talent of singing Fuji with policing ‘despite the ups and down.
