I received signal from Abuja to
suspend handover to Egbetokun —Imohimi
Kayode Egbetokun and Edgal Imohimi
The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Tuesday said that there would be no change of guard
for now.
Imohimi, who had invited the Press
on Tuesday to witness the handing- and taking over ceremony between Edgal and
the incoming CP, Kayode Egbetokun, said they were about concluding the process
when they received a directive from Abuja to suspend the action.
The News Man had reported that Imohimi
had been redeployed to Abuja, to resume as the Commissioner of Police in charge
of Explosive Ordinance Unit at the Force Headquarters, adding that Mr. Kayode
Egbetokun had replaced him in acting capacity.
Edgal, while addressing the Press in
the presence of Egbetokun 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 honour.”
