Lawyer Sues Tinubu Over Alleged Illegal Extension of IGP’s Tenure

An Abuja-based lawyer and human rights advocate, Maxwell Opara, has filed a legal suit against President Bola Tinubu, challenging the extension of the tenure of Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Kayode Egbetokun.
The lawyer is urging the Federal High Court in Abuja to prohibit Egbetokun from continuing to serve as the IGP, arguing that he should vacate the position after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60 on September 4, 2024.
Opara’s legal challenge centers on the alleged illegality of Egbetokun’s continued service, claiming that by law, his tenure should automatically end when he turned 60.
Opara insists that Egbetokun’s term cannot be legally extended beyond the statutory retirement age, even if the law governing the office of the IGP was amended.
The controversy gained attention after Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi clarified on Friday that President Tinubu did not explicitly extend the IGP’s tenure.
Instead, Adejobi explained that the president had simply approved the applicable law governing the IGP’s office, implying that any confusion was related to the legal framework itself, rather than a direct extension of Egbetokun’s term.
However, Opara remains resolute in his position, arguing that any law enacted after Egbetokun’s mandatory retirement date cannot retroactively restore his appointment.
He asserts that the law must operate within its prescribed bounds and should not be used to justify the Inspector General’s continued service after his legally mandated retirement.
As the legal battle unfolds, the court is expected to consider whether Egbetokun can remain in office under the newly approved legal provisions or if his tenure must end as stipulated by existing retirement laws.
At this time, no hearing date has been set for the case, but it has sparked widespread interest, as it could have significant implications for the future of leadership appointments within Nigeria’s police force.
The case raises broader questions about the legal framework governing public service appointments in Nigeria and the potential implications of retroactive legal amendments.
For now, the fate of the IGP remains uncertain as the court is set to weigh in on whether his continued service violates the country’s retirement laws.

Sanwo-Olu Promises to Improve Traffic with New AI Powered Technology

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has made it clear that his government will not tolerate any form of assault on officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Speaking through his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at the Second Lagos Traffic Conference on Tuesday, the governor said anyone caught attacking traffic officers will be made to face the law.
The event, held in honour of LASTMA’s 25th anniversary, brought together key stakeholders to reflect on traffic challenges and explore new solutions under the theme: “Enhancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety on Lagos Roads: Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations.”
Sanwo-Olu praised the efforts of LASTMA officers who he said work in tough, often dangerous conditions to keep Lagos roads under control. He acknowledged their sacrifices and dedication, saying their presence is the thin yellow line between traffic order and chaos.
“I truly commend every LASTMA officer for your courage and commitment. You’ve stayed strong even when the job puts you at risk, and that speaks volumes about your dedication,” he said. He also paid respects to officers who died in the line of duty, calling them heroes whose sacrifices would always be remembered.
Looking ahead, Sanwo-Olu shared plans to modernize LASTMA with technology that fits today’s traffic demands. He said the government would increase investment in smart systems such as AI-powered tools, automatic number plate recognition, and drone surveillance. These tools, he explained, will make it easier to monitor traffic in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and improve the overall movement of vehicles across Lagos.
