The Nigeria Police Force has elevated Olumuyiwa Adejobi to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and deployed him as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Delta State Command.
DCP Adejobi, who until recently served as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), received his new rank following approval by the Police Service Commission. According to the Force Headquarters, his redeployment is strategic, placing him at the helm of operations in one of the country’s most operationally sensitive commands.
The elevation dispels recent media reports, suggesting that Adejobi was “controversially removed” as Force PRO. Police authorities emphasized that the transition is neither punitive nor controversial but part of routine career progression and deployment of senior officers.
