It has been confirmed that Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has resigned
A source confirmed that Bayo Onanuga Presidential spokeman gave the lead in a special chat with a media outfit on Tuesday.
Egbetokun was reported to have resigned at the request of the President Bola Tinubu after a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday, February 23. 
However, the source quoted the Presidential media aide as saying that Egbetokun was not forced to do so. “It is true. He has resigned. He was not fired by the President,” the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, told the news outlet
Preparations are reportedly underway by Egbetokun to formally hand over to Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu, who oversees the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Lagos.
Although Egbetokun was appointed as the 22nd IGP on June 19, 2023, and his appointment was later confirmed by the Nigeria Police Council, his tenure became contentious due to statutory retirement provisions.
