ACP Benjamin Hundeyin, has been reportedly removed as the Nigeria Police Force (NPF)Public Relations Officer.
According to a report by Saharareporters, the approval for Hundeyin’s removal was given on Thursday, March 5, 2025.
It comes amid ongoing internal restructuring within the police hierarchy, following the appointment of Tunji Disu as the 23rd Inspector-General of Police by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Disu was named IGP last week after the removal of Kayode Egbetokun, who had led the force since 2023.
A source quoted by THE WHISTLER confirmed the development, saying, “The Force Public Relations Officer has been removed this morning.”
However, uncertainty remains over who will replace Hundeyin as the new spokesperson of the force, particularly as operational activities within the police have intensified in recent days.
“We don’t know who will take over from him, although we thought he would last longer considering his expertise,” the source said.
“However, when a new IGP is appointed, it is not news that some positions would be vacant, unfortunately, he was affected.”
When contacted, Hundeyin said that he was “unavailable right now”.
