Nigeria Police Denies IGP Tenure Extension Claims
The Nigeria Police Force has addressed recent speculations regarding the tenure of Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, clarifying that President Bola Tinubu did not extend his tenure as some reports have suggested.
In a statement released on Friday in Abuja, Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi clarified that the President’s action was not an extension but rather a confirmation of the IGP’s tenure in line with legal provisions.
According to Adejobi, President Tinubu approved the IGP’s appointment for a standard four-year term as stipulated by law.
The statement refuted misinformation circulating on social media and in news reports, emphasizing that the IGP’s appointment, which was confirmed by the Police Council, was not extended beyond its legal duration.
The official appointment letter, dated November 3, 2023, confirms that President Tinubu’s approval aligns with the Constitutional provisions outlined in Section 215(a) and Section 28(c) of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
Adejobi further stressed that there is no need for the IGP to seek an extension of tenure, as his appointment already guarantees a four-year term from the date of his official confirmation.
He condemned the spread of false information as the work of detractors and mischief-makers aiming to undermine the office of the IGP and mislead the public for personal or financial motives.
The statement concluded by urging the public and media to rely on accurate and official sources of information, reinforcing the integrity and legal framework governing the tenure of the IGP.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
