Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has relieved ACP Benjamin Hundeyin of his duties as Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), just six months after he assumed the position.
Hundeyin was appointed FPRO in September 2025 as a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), taking over from Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who had been promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police.
During his short tenure, Hundeyin was instrumental in shaping the public image of the NPF, leading initiatives to rebuild public trust, enhance accountability, and modernize police communication through digital platforms.
The move comes amid a broader restructuring of the police hierarchy, following the inauguration of Olatunji Disu as the 23rd Inspector-General of Police by President Bola Tinubu just 24 hours earlier.
Disu was appointed IGP on February 24, 2026, succeeding Kayode Egbetokun, who had served in the role since 2023. It is not yet clear who will replace Hundeyin as the next Force Public Relations Officer.
The Badagry-born officer had been appointed FPRO by former IGP Egbetokun and was recently promoted from Superintendent of Police to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) on February 3, 2026.
Facts are still very sketchy at the moment about who will replace Hundeyin as the mouthpiece of the Nigeria Police Force.
