Kayode Egbetokun, a ex-chief
security officer to Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state, has been
appointed the commissioner of police in Kwara state.
Ikechukwu Ani, spokesman of the
Police Service Commission (PSC), disclosed this in a statement.
Egbetokun was Tinubu’s chief
security officer for a few years before he became the commandant of Police
Training School, Ikeja, Lagos.
The statement said Imohimi
Edgal, commissioner of police in Lagos, has been directed to hand over
to Mu’azu Zubairu.
“I am sure that you know Mr.
Kayode Egbetokun; he is an old timer in the command,” Imohinmi
had said.
“You all know that our first job
is about order and direction; we were about concluding the handing and taking
over procedure when we were instructed by our bosses from Abuja to suspend
action for now.
“So, there will be no change of
guard for now. Of course, we would keep the press briefed about any
development.”
