**Breaking News: Anthony Placid Assumes Role of New Police Spokesperson** The Nigeria Police Force has officially confirmed the appointment of Anthony Placid as the new Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO). This follows the exit of Benjamin Hundeyin from the role, a position he held for barely six months. According to a statement released by the outgoing spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, the new FPRO was appointed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tunji Disu. This development comes as a result of the recent change in leadership within the police force. Anthony Placid, a seasoned deputy commissioner of police, brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served in various capacities, including administration, operations, intelligence, training, and international peacekeeping. Born on December 2, 1970, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Placid has risen through the ranks, joining the police as a cadet assistant superintendent of police (ASP) at the Nigeria Police Academy in 1996. As the new FPRO, Placid will be responsible for articulating the police force's message and interacting with the public through various channels. His appointment also comes with the establishment of a new police unit, the New Media Office, headed by Ali Giwa, a chief superintendent of police (CSP). Giwa will oversee the police force's social media activities and campaigns. Mr. Placid's background is a testament to his dedication to public service. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Geography and Regional Planning from the University of Uyo and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the University of Jos. He also studied Law at the National Open University of Nigeria. As the police force continues to evolve, Placid's appointment is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the force's communication and public relations. His vast experience and knowledge will undoubtedly be an asset in his new role, as he works to build trust and confidence between the police and the public. With his appointment, Nigerians can expect to see a more effective and engaging communication from the police force.
