ASP Eno Ikoedem has officially resumed duty as the new Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Edo State Police Command, following her recent appointment.

The development was confirmed in a statement issued on Monday by the Administrative Officer in the Police Public Relations Unit, ASP Emmanuel Nyokema.

According to the statement, Ikoedem’s substantive appointment followed the approval of her posting by the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

“Until her appointment, Ikoedem served as Deputy PRO to two consecutive spokespersons,” Nyokema said.

He added that she is the first female officer to be appointed as PRO of the Edo State Police Command, describing the development as a major milestone for policing and public engagement in the state.

“She resumed duty on Monday,” the statement confirmed.
