It was supposed to be a day of change of baton at the Lagos state police command on January 14th 2019 . However, in the presence of journalists invited to cover the then CP Edgal Imohimi's handover to then CP Kayode Egbetokun, an embarrassing drama played out as CP Imohimi who was obviously over himself revealed to the journalists that he was going nowhere as the commissioner of police in Lagos state.
The police authority had directed Mr Kayode Egbetokun to take over from Imohimi as police commissioner in Lagos while Imohimi was then redeployed to the Force Headquarters in Abuja as the Commissioner of Police in charge of Explosive Ordinances
He Imohimi , however, told the reporters who were at the command headquarters to witness the handover and takeover ceremony between him and Mr Egbetokun that the ceremony would no longer hold.
Mr Imohimi had stated that they were in the process of concluding the procedure which began on Monday when they got a signal from the Force Headquarters to maintain status quo.
Mr. Egbetokun was subsequently redeployed to the Kwara State police command. As his destiny, he has been appointed the highest position in the Nigeria Police Force.
The same Egbetokun who was disgraced from the Lagos state police command in 2019 was galantly welcomed to the helm of affairs at the Lious Edet House on Tuesday . A video making the rounds on social media showed over joyed police men , dancing and singing as Acting IGP Egbetokun was celebrated and welcomed as the new acting Inspector General of Police.
