The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the promotion of Olumuyiwa Adejobi to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and his redeployment as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Delta State Command.
Adejobi, who until recently served as Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), was decorated with his new rank following approval by the Police Service Commission. His new posting places him in charge of security operations in one of Nigeria’s most sensitive commands.

Police authorities explained that the redeployment was part of routine career progression and administrative restructuring, dismissing media reports suggesting that Adejobi was “controversially removed” as Force PRO.
“This is a normal administrative procedure in the Nigeria Police Force. DCP Adejobi’s professionalism, commitment, and record of service excellence made him the natural choice for this crucial operational role,” a senior officer at Force Headquarters said.
Adejobi, widely respected for his achievements in police-public relations and community policing, is now expected to oversee security operations, coordinate responses to violent crimes, and strengthen police-community collaboration across Delta State.
