The congratulatory message comes on the heels of a significant leadership transition at the Force Public Relations Department, where CSP Hundeyin officially took over as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) from DCP Adejobi.
In his warm felicitation, Abolurin referred to CSP Hundeyin as his “senior colleague, elder brother, and quality friend,” offering divine prayers for his new role: “Ar’anugba ooo, may we obtain mercy from the Lord Most High.”
He also paid a glowing tribute to the outgoing FPRO, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, whom he described as a “great PR mentor, courageous communicator par excellence, and benefactor.” He congratulated Adejobi for a “successful outing as FPRO during his indefatigable tenure of progress and victories for the NPF.”
The appointment of CSP Hundeyin was approved by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun. The outgoing officer, DCP Adejobi, has been subsequently posted to the Delta State Police Command as the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations.
