The Police Public Relations Officer, Ikeja Police College, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, is dead.
Our correspondent learnt that Jinadu, who was a superintendent of police, died last Thursday in his hometown in Owo, Ondo State, after an undisclosed illness.
Jinadu, who was a member of the Course 21 of the police, had served as the PPRO of the Benue State Police Command for several years before being transferred to Lagos.
He became famous when he served as the PPRO of the Lagos State Police Command between 2010 and 2012, having taken over from Mr. Frank Mba, who later became the Force PRO.
