The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Tuesday, said that he would not be handing over the baton to his successor, Kayode Egbetokun, for now.
Imohimi had been scheduled to handover to the incoming CP, Egbetokun, today following his redeployed to Abuja, to resume as the Commissioner of Police in charge of Explosive Ordinance Unit at the Force Headquarters.
However, the CP had to shelve the handing-and-taking over ceremony following a directive from Abuja to suspend the action.
The CP, who addressed the press in the presence of Mr Kayode 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.”
