Sources at the police headquarters told Vanguard that a senior officer has already been selected to replace him, although the individual’s identity had not been officially disclosed at the time of filing this report.

According to insiders familiar with the development, Hundeyin has been notified of the decision and has begun making arrangements to formally hand over the responsibilities of the office.

As of around 8 p.m. on Thursday, he was still carrying out his official duties.

An official statement from the office of Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, is expected to be released on Friday.

Hundeyin was appointed Force Public Relations Officer in September 2025 while holding the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP). He took over from Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who had earlier been promoted to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).

Before moving to the Force Headquarters in Abuja, Hundeyin served as the Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, where he became widely known for his active engagement with the media.

Security analysts say his time as police spokesman was notable for greater interaction with the public, particularly through digital platforms.

His strong presence on social media and frequent updates about police activities were seen as helping to improve communication between the police and citizens, while also promoting greater transparency.

Hundeyin holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Lagos State University and a Master’s degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology from the University of Ibadan.
