IGP EGBETOKUN APPOINTS DSP SEYI BABASEYI AS NEW OGUN POLICE COMMAND SPOKESPERSON

Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the appointment of DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi as the new Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the Ogun State Police Command.

Until his elevation, DSP Babaseyi served as the Deputy PPRO of the Lagos State Police Command.

A law graduate, he holds an LL.B from the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano; a Barrister-at-Law (BL) qualification from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus; and a Diploma in Law from Osun State University. He is also a member of the pioneer Regular Course 1 of the Police Academy.

Babaseyi’s academic and operational background spans law enforcement operations, investigations, administration, and strategic communication. He previously served as Divisional Crime Officer in Monatan and Kajorepo Divisions, and as Officer-in-Charge of Ilaji and Lagelu Police Posts in Oyo State, where he led key criminal investigations and coordinated crime-prevention strategies.

His operational experience includes a three-year deployment with the Police Mobile Force (22 PMF) as Unit Commander. In 2023, he underwent special operations training at the Nigeria Army School of Special Forces, Buni Yadi, before participating in joint military missions under Operation Hadin Kai across Yobe and Borno states.

Babaseyi later advanced into strategic administrative roles, serving as Deputy PPRO of the Lagos Command and Secretary to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State—positions that broadened his exposure to high-level coordination and public relations.
