Ogun governor hails ex-IG Egbetokun, tasks IGP Disu on intelligence-driven policing

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun praises former Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and urges the new acting IG Tunji Disu to focus on intelligence-driven policing.

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has expressed his appreciation for the service of Kayode Egbetokun, the immediate past Inspector-General of Police (IGP), following Egbetokun's resignation accepted by President Bola Tinubu. In a public statement, Abiodun highlighted Egbetokun's dedication and professionalism, noting that his contributions to internal security were a source of pride for both Ogun State and Nigeria. The governor wished Egbetokun well as he transitions to handling family responsibilities after his tenure.

Abiodun also congratulated the acting Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, upon his new appointment. He expressed confidence in Disu’s abilities to navigate the challenges within the current security landscape, further emphasizing the importance of focused leadership at this critical juncture in Nigeria's security situation. The governor's statements reflect a supportive and proactive stance towards improving law enforcement in Ogun State and the country.

In his remarks, Abiodun urged Disu to prioritize intelligence-driven policing as a strategy to enhance security. This directive is particularly pertinent given recent security challenges faced in Nigeria, indicating a shift towards a more strategic and analytical approach to policing. The emphasis on intelligence-driven strategies suggests a long-term commitment to adapting policing methods to better address security issues within the region, potentially impacting community safety and crime reduction.
