In furtherance of his zeal to re-engineer the security architecture of the nation as escapitulated in his inauguration speech as follows, “Security shall be the top priority of our administration because neither prosperity nor justice can prevail amidst insecurity and violence,” President Bola Tinubu, appointed Kayode Egbetokun as the acting Inspector General of Police. His job was simple; restore the dignity of the Police as well as public confidence and safeguard the lives and property of Nigeria. It is with confidence that we can attest that just three months after his appointment, the supercop is doing just that.

The erstwhile Deputy Inspector General of Police, who led the police force’s Criminal Investigations Department in Abuja, and hails from Ogun State, can be said to be a thoroughbred bred officer even as he clocks 59 years today, just one more step to strike diamond. Consequently, the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP) is rolling out the drums in celebration of an accomplished, focused and goal oriented public servant, who has given his all in the service of the nation.

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

A proud 1987 Mathematics graduate of the University of Lagos, Egbetokun enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force as a Cadet ASP (Course 16) on 3 March 1990. He also has a Master’s degree in Engineering Analysis and Business Administration from the same university, which he obtained in 1996 as well as a postgraduate diploma in Petroleum Economics from Delta State University in 2000, and an MBA from Lagos State University, Ojo in 2004. He also holds a PhD in Peace and Security Studies from Al-hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State.

A lover of education, he attended the Global Conference on Chemical Security and Emerging Threats held in Lyon France in 2018 and trained in several other professional courses. Egbetokun is a mobile stream of knowledge.

He had served meritoriously in various locations and capabilities before berthing as the nation’s number one police officer. He served as police Area Commander in Osogbo, Osun State and Gusau, Zamfara State. From 1999 to 2005, he was a chief security officer to former governor of lagos state, Bola Tinubu, who is now the president of Nigeria.

He also served as the Commander of Rapid Response Squad, Lagos; Squadron Commander, Mopol 5, Benin, Benin City; Officer-in-Charge, Anti-Fraud Unit, FCT Command, Abuja; and Chief Superintendent of Police, Administration, Lagos State Command Headquarters, Ikeja.

Mr Egbetokun is a former police commissioner in Kwara State and was an AIG in charge of Zone 7 Headquarters, Abuja.

He is a Member of the Society for Peace and Security Practice and a scholar in Peace and Security Studies

Mr Egbetokun loves reading and plays table tennis and recreational football.

We, at NAOSNP, recognise your positive accomplishments in your career trajectory, and felicitate with you as you clock 59 today.

Congratulations sir!

National Public Relations Officer
