“Ag. IGP Kayode Egbetokun Reappoints ACP Muyiwa Adejobi As FPRO” was the breaking news on Wednesday evening after a successful National Assignment by the Nigeria Police; the launch of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manual by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
Adejobi became a household name in the South West due to his outstanding performance as Ogun State Police Command, Zonal PPRO, and Lagos State Police PRO.
On 13th February 2022, the then Inspector-General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba, appointed Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi as the acting Force Public Relations Officer who was until his appointment, the Deputy Force PRO,
He took over from the then CP Frank Mba, who proceeded on a course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, Plateau State.
Due to his outstanding performance, on the 19th of April 2022, the then Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba confirmed the appointment of Olumuyiwa Adejobi as the 25th Indigenous Force Public Relations Officer.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, an astute police officer and a professional public relations practitioner, is an alumnus of the prestigious University of Ibadan, where he studied Archaeology and Geography.
He also holds a Master’s Degree in Peace and Conflict from the same University. A product of the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil Kano, where he had his initial police training, ACP Adejobi has had a long stint as Police Public Relations Officer in the Ogun State Police Command from 2008 to 2016.
He equally served as PPRO Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, in 2016 and PPRO, Lagos State Police Command, between September 2020 and August 2021, when he was posted to deputize the former Force PRO, CP Frank Mba.
ACP Adejobi has carved a niche for himself in Police Public Relations Management with the experience he has gained serving as PPRO in different Police Commands and zones for more than a decade.
He has equally held many other offices in the police, including Operations Officer, OC Anti-Bank Robbery and Anti-Pipeline Vandalization, Sagamu Division from 2006 to 2008; Admin Officer, Department of Operations, Police Headquarters, Ogun State in 2008; Operations Officer, Department of Operations, Lagos State Command Ikeja in 2017; Directing Staff, Police College Ikeja; and Personal Assistant to The Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Department of Operations, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
He is a member of several professional bodies and associations, which include: the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR); the International Public Relations Association (IPRA); the Point Man Leadership Institute, USA; the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), USA; the Society for Peace Studies and Practice (SPSP); the Boys Brigade, Nigeria; and the Institute of Corporate Administration, Nigeria.
Prince Olumuyiwa Oladunmoye Adejobi is the epitome of princehood, cultural dynamism, moral values, and African traditional evangelism. He thrives to uphold equity, justice, and fairness in all areas of life. Muyiwa’s hobbies include Driving, Singing, tourism, and Playing Lawn Tennis.
He is married to Olori Olukemi Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, and has lovable Children.
Adejobi is the most active Force PRO in the history of the Force PRO Department. His Twitter handle, @Princemoye1, which was activated in January 2022, has over 137,000 followers to date.
Adejobi is a goal-getter and that reminds me of the words of Tom Landry who says “Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan”.
In conclusion, I once again congratulate Adejobi on his reappointment. This is a long-awaited feat for him. I wish him a successful period in this position.
I have no doubt that he will make us proud and engrave his name as the best ever to head the office of the Force Public Relations Department.
