The Nigeria Police Force has removed Benjamin Hundeyin from his position as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos State Police Command.
Sources within the command confirmed that the development is part of an ongoing administrative reshuffle within the Lagos Command aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and repositioning the police for improved public engagement.
Hundeyin, who served as the spokesperson of the Lagos police for several years, became widely known for his active engagement with the public, particularly through social media platforms where he regularly addressed security concerns, clarified police actions, and responded to citizens’ complaints.
During his tenure, he played a prominent role in communicating police activities, managing crisis communication, and providing updates on major incidents across Lagos State. His communication style and accessibility earned him both commendations and criticisms from members of the public.
While the command is yet to release a detailed statement on the circumstances surrounding his removal, insiders indicate that a replacement will be announced soon as part of the ongoing restructuring.
Hundeyin’s next posting within the police structure has not been officially disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
Observers say the change marks another shift in the communication structure of the Lagos police, one of the most visible commands within the Nigerian policing system due to the state’s size and strategic importance.
Further details are expected from the command in the coming days.
