***CSP Benjamin Hundeyin is New Image Maker
Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin, the outgoing Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, has been appointed as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO).
CSP Hundeyin takes over from Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who has been redeployed to the Delta Police Command to be in charge of operations.
According to a source, police authorities described the development as a routine administrative adjustment aimed at career progression and manpower optimization, stressing that it is neither punitive nor controversial.
CSP Hundeyin brings to his new role a wealth of experience in security operations and strategic communication.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Language from Lagos State University and a Master’s degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology from the University of Ibadan.
A seasoned communicator, Hundeyin has undergone specialized training in Civil-Military Coordination at the Nigerian Army’s leadership institute in Jaji and is a member of several professional bodies, including the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), the International Public Relations Association, and the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPMN).
His distinguished career includes a stint with the United Nations–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), where he honed his skills in international peacekeeping and crisis communication.
Since March 2022, Hundeyin has served as the spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command, earning widespread recognition for his proactive engagement with the public and the media.
He succeeded former Lagos PRO, DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, and has been credited with improving police-community relations in the state.
As the new national spokesperson of the police, CSP Hundeyin is expected to spearhead the Force’s communications strategy, enhance transparency, and strengthen public trust through effective crisis management and strategic messaging.
The transition is expected to take effect in the coming days after an official handover ceremony at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
