The new Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has promised to tackle crime and rid the nation of criminality.
IGP Egbetokun stated this on Tuesday shortly after he was decorated by the vice president, Kassim Shettima at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
He said “now that I have just been decorated, I am looking forward to taking over tomorrow morning at 11 am. I really can’t describe how I feel presently, but I feel like a tiger inside of me right now ready to chase away all the criminals in Nigeria”.
Egbetokun’s predecessor, former IG Baba Alkali, expressed his confidence in the new leader, emphasizing their shared history and their collaborative work over the years.
As he handed over the reins to his successor, Alkali acknowledged the significance of the moment, describing it as a stage where one comes, works, and eventually departs.
The outgoing IGP expressed satisfaction in passing the Barton to someone he personally knew would carry the mantle of leadership forward.
He expressed certainty in Egbetokun’s ability to champion the cause of the police and continue where he left off.
