The Nigeria Police Force has appointed Anthony Placid as its new Force Public Relations Officer, replacing Benjamin Hundeyin.
The appointment marks a change in the leadership of the police communication unit, which is responsible for managing public information, media relations, and official statements on behalf of the Nigeria Police Force.
Anthony Placid, who assumes the role with immediate effect, is expected to oversee the force’s public relations strategy and strengthen communication between the police and the public.

Anthony Placid is expected to bring his experience in policing and public relations to the position as the force continues to address security challenges across the country.
