The Nigeria Police on Saturday said Mr Frank Mba, a Commissioner of Police (CP) and Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), has bowed out as the spokesman of the Nigeria Police.

A statement by Mr Benjamin Hundeyin, an Administrative Officer in the Force Public Relations Department, in Abuja, said Mba had handed over to his deputy, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).

He said taking over of the department by Adejobi was with immediate effect.

Hundeyin said Adejobi, an alumnus of University of Ibadan where he studied Archaeology and Geography (Combined Honours) also, holds a Master’s Degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the same university.

He said Adejobi had served as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Ogun between 2008 and 2016, PPRO Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, in 2016, and PPRO Lagos State between 2020 and 2021.

“He is also a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), USA; and the Institute of Corporate Administration, Nigeria,” he said.
