The Force Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Benjamin Hundeyin, is expected to vacate his position in Abuja on Friday, March 6, 2026, ending his five-month stint in the role.
Sources at the police headquarters revealed that a senior officer has already been selected to replace Hundeyin, though the individual’s identity had not been officially disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
According to insiders familiar with the development, Hundeyin has been notified of the decision and has begun making arrangements to hand over his responsibilities.
As of about 8 p.m. on Thursday, he was still carrying out his official duties.
An official announcement from the office of the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, is expected later on Friday.
Hundeyin assumed office as Force Public Relations Officer in September 2025 while serving as a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).
He took over from Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who had earlier been elevated to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
Before his appointment to the Force Headquarters in Abuja, Hundeyin served as the Public Relations Officer for the Lagos State Police Command, where he gained widespread recognition for his active media engagement.
Security analysts noted that during his time as police spokesman, Hundeyin increased public interaction through digital platforms.
His consistent presence on social media and frequent updates on police activities were seen as efforts that strengthened communication between the Force and the public, while also promoting greater transparency.
Hundeyin holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Lagos State University and a Master’s degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology from the University of Ibadan.
