Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, approves new postings of Police Public Relations Officers (PPROs) and Public Relations Liaison Officers to selected commands and formations of the Nigeria Police Force.
According to multiple outlets, the postings are intended to strengthen strategic communication, improve public access to credible police information, and enhance engagement with the media. Vanguard reports that the assignments focus on increasing the police’s visibility and communication with the public through designated commands, while the Daily Post Nigeria describes an official statement released by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, announcing the deployments. The Punch similarly reports that Disu approves the posting of new spokespersons to state commands and formations.
While the outlets largely agree on the purpose and that Disu authorizes the deployments, they provide different levels of detail about which specific commands are affected and how the announcement is presented.
