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.

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.
