IGP Kayode Egbetokun Addresses Allegations from the PDP.

In a recent statement, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun categorically dismissed allegations made by the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The party accused Egbetokun of conspiring to destabilize the state and plotting the assassination of Governor Ademola Adeleke. During a ceremony in Abuja, where senior officers were decorated, Egbetokun expressed his intent to remain focused on his duties, describing the allegations as “absurd.”

Egbetokun highlighted his commitment to unchallenged law enforcement and maintaining public order in Osun State. He confirmed that police reinforcements had been deployed to the region, ensuring that adequate measures are in place to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

The PDP’s claims stemmed from their perception of Egbetokun’s association with the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding a disputed court order aimed at reinstating former local government chairmen in Osun. In response to these allegations, Egbetokun stated, “I am too busy for careless talks,” affirming his dedication to addressing legitimate law enforcement concerns rather than engaging in what he deemed unfounded assertions.

As the political climate in Osun State evolves, IGP Egbetokun’s focus remains clear: to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety and security of all citizens, undistracted by political rhetoric.
