NEW IGP DISU REMOVES HUDEYIN AS POLICE PRO

By Olayiwola Ibrahim // The newly inaugurated Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, has officially removed Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Benjamin Hundeyin from his position as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO).

This major administrative change comes exactly six months after Hundeyin took over the role.

SPY NIGERIA reports that the decision was finalized on Thursday morning, marking one of the first significant personnel changes under the new police leadership.

The move has sent ripples through the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

While the specific reasons for the removal have not been formally disclosed, the timing coincides with a broader restructuring effort initiated by the new IGP.

This development follows less than 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu inaugurated Disu as the 23rd substantive Inspector-General of Police, replacing Kayode Egbetokun.

Inside sources at the Force Headquarters confirmed that the directive for Hundeyin’s exit was issued early Thursday. The atmosphere at the public relations department is reportedly tense as officers await news on a successor.

Hundeyin, a native of Badagry, was originally brought into the role of FPRO by the former Inspector-General, Kayode Egbetokun.
