By: Israel Adeleke
Following reports by some media platforms, including Sahara Reporters, which had allegedly inaccurately suggested that Olumuyiwa Adejobi was controversially removed as the Force Public Relationship Officer, (PRO), OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports as gathered that the Nigeria Police Force has put to rest such news by announcing Olumuyiwa elevation to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and his subsequent deployment as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Delta State Command.
OTN News further reports as gathered that the police command who announced this new development in a statement released from its headquarters, clarified that his transition is neither punitive nor controversial but part of the routine progression and deployment of senior officers within the Force.
According to the force, Olumuyiwa's redeployment was a strategic posting that places him at the helm of operations in one of the most operationally sensitive commands in the country.
OTN News observes that DCP Adejobi, who until recently served as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), was decorated with his new rank following the approval of the Police Service Commission.
Force sources emphasized that with his wealth of experience in public communication, operational management, and community policing, DCP Adejobi’s new role in Delta State is not only a promotion in rank but also a posting to a more strategic and sensitive position.
“The deployment of officers is a normal administrative procedure in the Nigeria Police Force. DCP Adejobi’s record of professionalism, commitment, and service excellence made him a natural fit for this crucial operational responsibility,” a senior officer at Force Headquarters noted.
OTN News however observes that, Olumuyiwa, as DCP Operations, Delta State, will be responsible for coordinating security operations, tackling violent crimes, and strengthening police-community relations across the state, which has been a critical theatre in Nigeria’s internal security architecture.
His elevation further underscores the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to merit-based career progression and effective deployment of its finest officers to areas where their expertise is most required.
