A new Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, appointed by the Inspector General of Police, Dr Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has assumed duty in Ogun State Police Command
The appointment followed the recent transfer of all Police Public Relations Officers with the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).
DSP Babaseyi succeeds the erstwhile PPRO, CSP Omolola Odutola, who has been transferred to Lagos State Police Command for higher national assignments.
A Barrister-at-Law and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, DSP Babaseyi holds a Bachelor of Law degree from the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano, and a Diploma in Law from Osun State University.
A distinguished member of the 1st Regular Course of the Nigeria Police Academy, his academic and professional background provides a solid foundation in police operations, investigations, administration, and strategic communication.
He has served in several operational, investigative, and administrative capacities across divisions and specialised units.
He previously served as Divisional Crime Officer at Monatan and Kajorepo Divisions, and as Officer-in-Charge of Ilaji and Lagelu Police Posts in Oyo State, where he led criminal investigations, supervised personnel, and coordinated crime prevention strategies.
His operational expertise was further strengthened by a three-year deployment in the Police Mobile Force (22 PMF) as Unit Commander.
In 2023, he trained at the Nigeria Army School of Special Forces, Buni Yadi, and subsequently led personnel in joint military operations under Operation Hadin Kai across Yobe and Borno States.
DSP Babaseyi also brings strong experience in police administration and public relations to his new role. He previously served as Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command and as Secretary to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, where he was deeply involved in command management, strategic planning, and inter-agency coordination.
Until his appointment as Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, he distinguished himself in media relations and information management.
DSP Babaseyi is happily married with children.
