The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Tuesday said that there would be no change of guard for now.
Imohimi,
who had invited the Press on Tuesday to witness the handing- and taking
over ceremony between Edgal and the incoming CP, Kayode Egbetokun, said
they were about concluding the process when they received a directive
from Abuja to suspend the action.
The CP had been redeployed
to Abuja, to resume as the Commissioner of Police in charge of Explosive
Ordinance Unit at the Force Headquarters, adding that Mr Kayode
Egbetokun, had replaced him in acting capacity.
The CP, while
addressing the press, in the presence of Mr Kayode Egbetokun, at the
Lagos State Police Command’s headquarters, said, “I am sure that you
know Mr Kayode Egbetokun, he is an old timer in the command.
“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.
“But I am happy, humbled that you
find it serious enough for you all to come to witness what we are doing
here. I consider it an honor.”
