**Change of Guard at the Police Public Relations Unit: New Spokesperson Appointed** In a recent development at the Nigeria Police Force, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Benjamin Hundeyin has been relieved of his duties as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO). He has been replaced by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Anthony Okon Placid. Although the police headquarters in Abuja has not made an official statement on the matter, our sources close to the headquarters have confirmed the change. This new development comes as a surprise to many, considering Hundeyin's extensive experience and popularity among Nigerians for his straightforward and engaging communication style. In his new role, DCP Placid will be expected to manage the police's public image and communicate the force's activities to the public. With the current challenges facing the police, including issues of trust and transparency, Placid's appointment raises hopes that the force will improve its public relations. Another significant change is the creation of a new department, the New Media Office, which will oversee the police's digital presence. Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Ali Giwa has been appointed to head the new office. This development highlights the police's growing recognition of the importance of social media in modern communication. It's worth noting that the police have been under pressure to improve their public relations in recent years. The creation of the New Media Office and the appointment of a new FPRO could be seen as steps in the right direction. However, only time will tell if these changes will translate into tangible improvements. For now, the police headquarters has promised to issue a formal statement on the matter. As more details emerge, Nigerians will be watching closely to see how these changes will shape the force's communication strategy and its relationship with the public.
