With the release of the names of the new appointees on Monday, President Bola Tinubu replaced the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba.
President Tinubu appointed Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Kayode Egbetokun to replace IGP Baba, who former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed in April 2021.
The President directed Mr. Egbetokun to serve in an acting capacity pending his confirmation in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
