On Monday evening, President Bola Tinubu named DIG Egbetokun Olukayode, a former chief security officer, as the Acting Inspector General of Police.

This occurred just three months after the Police Service Commission authorised Egbetokun’s appointment as the deputy inspector general of police for the country’s southwest geopolitical region.

DIG Johnson Babatunde Kokumo, who retired from the service on March 15 of this year, was replaced by DIG Egbetokun.

In a statement, Willie Bassey, Director of Information in the Office of the Secretary-General to the Federation, announced his appointment as IG.

Here are six things to know about the recently appointed acting IGP.
