Former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has resigned from his position, the Presidency has confirmed.
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed that Egbetokun stepped down to attend to pressing personal matters requiring his full attention.
According to Onanuga, the former police chief submitted his resignation letter to the President on Tuesday, explaining that family-related concerns necessitated his decision.
“The IGP resigned in a letter today, citing family issues which required his undivided attention,” Onanuga stated.
Reports of Egbetokun’s resignation had earlier dominated media platforms, with sources indicating that the development followed a meeting at the Presidential Villa, where President Tinubu directed him to tender his resignation.
Further details surrounding the transition are expected to be communicated by the Presidency in due course.
