The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the deployment of the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, as the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations at the Delta State Police Command.
In a statement posted on its X on Wednesday, the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said “the posting reflects the confidence of the Force leadership in his extensive experience, professionalism, and ability to enhance operational strategies within the Command.”
The deployment is coming at a time when policing in Delta state has come under heavy scrutiny, following recent criticism of nefarious police activities.
“The IGP praised Adejobi for his outstanding performance during his tenure as Force Public Relations Officer, noting his dedication, professionalism, and significant contributions to improving the public image and communication efforts of the Nigeria Police Force,” the statement read.
He expressed confidence that Adejobi will demonstrate the same commitment and excellence in his new role.
Until now, Adejobi was the 25th indigenous Force Public Relations Officer.
He took over from CP Frank Mba, who was nominated for the Senior Executive Course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos.
