Police IG, Egbetokun Gets 3-Year Tenure Extension


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, by three years.


The disclosure was made by sources at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.


The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the IGP’s tenure was extended despite his impending retirement age of 60, which he will reach tomorrow, September 4, 2024.


According to the sources, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, presented the IGP with a letter confirming his tenure extension on Monday.


A senior security officer at the SGF Office also confirmed that the IGP received his letter of tenure extension from Akume on Monday morning.


The move comes after the Senate passed a bill amending the Police Act 2020, which introduced a new clause allowing police officers to serve for 40 years or until they reach the age of 65, whichever comes first.


Egbetokun, who was appointed IGP in June 2023, would have been due for retirement tomorrow.
