Kayode Egbetokun has been reportedly removed from his position as Inspector General of Police.
It was gathered that President Bola Tinubu ordered Egbetokun’s removal from office.
It was also gathered that 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 on 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,.
“He is incompetent and the scandals are just too many. He is power-drunk. The President said he should leave to focus on getting treatment for himself. You know, he has kidney-related medical issues”, one of the sources said.
Another source said, “Police officers jubilated on Monday when they heard the news. The First Lady Remi Tinubu wanted him to stay but the President was adamant. She fought that he should remain in office despite all the scandals.
