The removal comes as part of a wider restructuring within the NPF, shortly after Olatunji Disu was inaugurated as the 23rd Inspector-General of Police by President Bola Tinubu. Disu was appointed IGP on February 24, 2026, replacing Kayode Egbetokun, who had held the position since 2023. The identity of Hundeyin’s successor as Force PRO has not yet been announced.
