President Bola Tinubu has removed the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun.
Egbetokun has been replaced by Tunji Disu, an Assistant
Inspector General of Police, AIG.
His removal is said to have followed Tinubu’s directive for
him to resign.
It was gathered that Tinubu directed Egebtokun to resign his
position at a meeting in the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday.
Tinubu appointed Egebtokun as the 22nd IGP on June 19, 2023.
His substantive appointment was confirmed by the Nigeria
Police Council on October 31, 2023.
Appointed as IGP at the age of 58, Egbetokun was due for
retirement on September 4, 2024, upon reaching the mandatory age of 60. But his
tenure was controversially extended by the President.
