The Nigeria Police Force has reportedly removed Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) just six months after his appointment, in what sources describe as part of an internal leadership shake-up within the force.
According to reports cited by Sahara Reporters, Hundeyin’s removal comes amid ongoing restructuring efforts within the police hierarchy, although the Nigeria Police Force has yet to issue an official statement explaining the decision.
Hundeyin, who previously served as the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, was appointed as the Force spokesperson in 2025. His appointment was widely viewed as part of efforts by the police leadership to strengthen public communication and improve engagement with Nigerians.
During his time as Force PRO, Hundeyin was known for actively addressing public concerns, responding to security-related questions on social media, and providing updates on police operations across the country.
Before his elevation to the national role, he gained recognition for his communication strategy in Lagos, where he frequently used digital platforms to clarify police actions and counter misinformation.
While details surrounding his removal remain unclear, the development is believed to be part of broader administrative changes within the Nigeria Police Force.
Observers say such reshuffles are not uncommon within security agencies, particularly when new strategic directions or leadership adjustments are being implemented.
As of the time of reporting, the police authorities have not officially confirmed who will replace Hundeyin as the Force Public Relations Officer.
Further details are expected as the Nigeria Police Force releases formal communication regarding the change.
