Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has officially announced the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin as the new Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, after him, the former Police Force Spokesperson was promoted, reassigned and redeployed to Delta State as the Deputy Commissioner of Police incharge of Operations, a sensitive position that has generated massive reactions from members of the public, especially those who widely believed that DCP Olumuyiwa used his office as Force spokesperson to suppress freedom of speech by arresting and detaining people on grounds of alleged cyber talking and violence instigation against the Nigeria Police Force, while, many accused him of abandoning the main security challenges affecting Nigeria, and created more time for himself to be reading through comment sections on social media to harass innocent young Nigerians over mere comments, and the new posting may offer DCP Olumuyiwa the opportunity to always lead a team of combat joint security Squads to battle fields where he may have direct contact with some of the deadly and well armed gunmen in the South-South and South-East geopolitical zones, like, he’s expected to lead offensive and defensive operations  against militants and armed robbers who have killed several policemen, sometimes in mass numbers in recent years in the Oil rich Delta State where his new job function required him as the police field combat commander of the state to develop combat strategies to address cases of oil bunkering, kidnapping and more strategies to confront and push back Biafra secessionist armed groups widely believed have good positions and camps in Delta State.
