CSP Benjamin Hundeyin appointed as Nigeria Police Force PRO by IGP Egbetokun

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has appointed Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin as the new spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force.

Hundeyin, who studied English Language at Lagos State University, also holds a Master’s degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology from the University of Ibadan. He has further strengthened his professional profile with a Certificate in Civil-Military Coordination from the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Training Centre, Jaji, Kaduna State.

As a professional communicator, he is an Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), a Member of the International Public Relations Association (IPRA), and an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM).

Before this new role, Hundeyin served as Public Relations Officer for Zone 2 Command, Lagos, and later as spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command. His experience also includes representing Nigeria at the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur, Sudan, in 2020. At different times, he worked at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, as an Administration Officer in the Public Relations Department.

The Inspector-General charged Hundeyin to use his knowledge in communications and security to strengthen the reputation of the Nigeria Police Force and to maintain effective engagement with the Nigerian public. He takes over from Deputy Commissioner of Police, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who has been redeployed after serving in the role of Force Public Relations Officer.

This change in leadership is seen as a strategic move to reinforce the Police’s relationship with citizens and improve transparency in its communication efforts.
