0 334

One major reason Edgal’s tenure in Lagos came to an abrupt end is because Mr. Edgar failed to provide adequate security for the flag-off of the APC governorship campaign on January 8, 2019.

Violence broke out at the rally with few persons stabbed in the ensuing melee. One of the stabbed was MC Oluomo, a member of the public transport union in Lagos.

Edgal was close friends with Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

New Lagos Police boss was Tinubu’s Chief Security Officer

Until his appointment as Lagos police boss, Egbetokun was a Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP.

He was born on September 4, 1964 in Erinja, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Egbetokun enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force on March 3, 1990, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.

In 1999, he was appointed Chief Security Officer to then Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Egbetokun has served the police command in different capacities. He was Commander, Rapid Response Squad, Lagos, Squadron Commander, Mopol 5, Benin, Benin City, Officer-in-Charge, Anti-Fraud Unit, FCT Command, Abuja; Chief Superintendent of Police, Administration, Lagos State Command Headquarters, Ikeja; Area Commander, Osogbo, Osun State Command; and Area Commander, Gusau, Zamfara State Command, among others.
