In a major personnel reshuffle, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin, the well-known Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, has been appointed as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO). He succeeds DCP Muyiwa Adejobi, who has been redeployed to the Delta State Police Command following his recent promotion.
Hundeyin, who has led public relations for Lagos State since March 2022, is expected to assume his new role at the Force Headquarters in Abuja soon after the administrative handover.
This change comes as part of routine administrative adjustments within the Force. The police hierarchy emphasized that the transfer is neither punitive nor controversial, but part of regular career progression and manpower optimization.
