The Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has appointed Anietie Iniedu as the new Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Police Force. Iniedu’s appointment was announced in a statement on Friday by outgoing spokesman Anthony Placid, who was only appointed to the position in March 2026. Iniedu, a native of Etinan LGA in Akwa Ibom State, holds a B.Sc. in Pure Chemistry from the University of Uyo. Before his appointment, he was Head of the Complaint Response Unit at Force Headquarters. The IGP expressed confidence in Iniedu’s capacity to lead the Force Public Relations Department.
Key Points:
The appointment signals a continued effort to strengthen police-public communication and accountability.
Iniedu’s experience in public complaint management aligns with the Force’s reform agenda.
The previous PRO, Placid, served for just three months before being replaced.
Iniedu’s background in strategic communication and intelligence analysis is expected to enhance transparency.
The change reflects ongoing leadership adjustments under IGP Disu’s tenure.
Iniedu will now lead the Force Public Relations Department. His appointment may signal a renewed focus on transparency and public engagement.
