President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly sacked Kayode Egbetokun as Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police.
He is said to have appointed Tunji Disu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos as his successor.
Although, we couldn’t immediately confirm news of the sack, senior police officials and sources close to the Police Service Commission confirmed the development.
New IGP Tunji Disu
“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.
“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.”

We further gathered that, “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.”
