The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO).
Hundeyin, who is a graduate of English Language from Lagos State University, also holds a Master’s degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology from the University of Ibadan.
He further obtained a Certificate in Civil-Military Coordination from the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Training Centre, Jaji, Kaduna State.
An Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), the new Force Spokesperson is also a Member of the International Public Relations Association (IPRA), as well as an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM).
A seasoned communicator, Hundeyin previously served as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) at Zone 2 Command, Lagos, and later at the Lagos State Police Command.
He was also part of Nigeria’s contingent to the United Nations (UN) Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur, Sudan, in 2020, and at different times worked at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, as Administration Officer in the Public Relations Department.
Meanwhile, IGP Egbetokun has urged Hundeyin to deploy his wealth of experience in communications and security to further strengthen the image of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and sustain robust relations with the public.
Hundeyin is taking over from DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who served as Force PRO until his recent redeployment.
