In a moment that resonates deeply with Nigeria’s media and law enforcement communities, the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN) has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on his well-earned promotion to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
Olalekan Olabulo, President of the association in a statement, said for many journalists covering the security beat, DCP Adejobi has been more than a spokesperson. He has been a bridge; consistent, accessible and the professional voice of the Nigeria Police Force. He has brought a rare blend of candor and clarity to the sometimes delicate relationship between the police and the press.
From the moment he assumed the role of Force PRO, DCP Adejobi set a new tone that has been marked by transparency, responsiveness and genuine collaboration. In an era where misinformation spreads like wildfire, his efforts to ensure timely, accurate and responsible communication have not only improved the image of the police but also empowered the media to report crime and law enforcement activities more credibly.
According to CRAN, this promotion is not just a step up the career ladder; it is a recognition of character, competence and an unwavering dedication to duty. The association praised the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Service Commission for acknowledging Adejobi’s hard work and elevating him at a time when trust and accountability in public institutions are more critical than ever.
Behind the press briefings and official statements lies a man who has made himself available to journalists in search of clarity, to citizens seeking answers and to colleagues across the force who look up to him as a model of professional communication.
CRAN also used the opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to continued partnership with the Nigeria Police Force under IGP Kayode Egbetokun’s leadership. The association emphasized its shared goal of promoting public safety, combating misinformation and fostering responsible journalism in the interest of national development.
As he steps into this new role with greater responsibility, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi carries with him the goodwill and admiration of an entire community of crime reporters who have walked the beat alongside him.
CRAN wishes him wisdom, strength and continued success as he serves the nation with even more vigor.
