The Nigerian Police Force Headquarters in Abuja has addressed recent rumors and misinformation regarding the tenure of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, labeling them as misleading and unfounded. The Force has urged the public to disregard the erroneous reports circulating on social media and in the news.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police Force confirmed that the appointment letter for IGP Egbetokun, dated November 3, 2023, specifies a four-year tenure as approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This tenure aligns with the provisions outlined in Section 215(a) and Section 28(c) of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to various misleading reports and misinterpretations concerning the tenure of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cWe wish to categorically state that what His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, approved for the IGP is not an extension of tenure, but rather the proper application of the law governing the tenure of the office of the IGP.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Nigeria Police Force remains committed to upholding the law and ensuring transparency in its operations. We urge the public to rely on verified information and official statements,\u201d Adejobi added in the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
