Peacekeeping Experience

undeyin was part of Nigeria’s UN Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur, Sudan (UNAMID) in 2020. CSP Benjamin Hundeyin was part of the Nigerian contingent to the United Nations–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) in 2020.

That exposure means he has seen policing and security work in an international, high-conflict environment, which demands discipline, neutrality, and strong community engagement. This isn’t common for every officer who rises into the Force Public Relations Office (FPRO).
