Tinubu Removes IGP Kayode Egbetokun as Tunji Disu Takes Over
He is to be succeeded by Tunji Disu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos.
Senior police officials and sources within the Police Service Commission confirmed the development Tuesday.
“Egbetokun was at the (Presidential) Villa yesterday and was told to go and prepare his handover notes. I believe he has done that already and he will be handing over to Tunji Disu,” one of the sources said.
The President said he should leave to focus on getting treatment for himself. You know, he has kidney-related medical issues
Egbetokun’s time as IGP was marked by a storm of controversies. His prolonged stay in office, despite clear retirement rules, became the centerpiece of the scandal.
Egbetokun’s tenure was extended beyond the mandatory retirement age of 60 or 35 years of service.
Civil society groups and critics argued that his continued stay violated police service rules, sparking heated debates about favouritism and disregard for institutional discipline.
