BREAKING: I WAS TOLD TO SUSPEND HANDING OVER TO EGBETOKUN – IMOHIMI
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Tuesday said that he received a directive to withhold the handing over scheduled to take place today.
Imohimi, who had invited the Press to the ceremony, said they have almost completed the handing and taking over ceremony between himself and CP, Kayode Egbetokun before he received the signal from Abuja to suspend the action.
The CP, in his press statement 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.”
