EXCLUSIVE: IGP Egbetokun Removes AIG Fayoade From Zone 2 Lagos Amid Succession Battle
Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the removal of AIG Adegoke Fayoade from the Zone 2 Command, Lagos, in what sources say is a move to block his possible emergence as the next police chief.
While the Force publicly linked the redeployment to “corruption allegations,” insiders told SaharaReporters it was driven by fears that political heavyweights, including APC leader Bisi Akande, were lobbying for Fayoade’s succession.
Fayoade, a respected officer and former aide-de-camp to Akande, has been seen as a strong contender for IGP. His removal from the strategic Lagos-Ogun command is widely viewed as an attempt to curtail his influence.
The shake-up comes as Egbetokun faces mounting criticism for refusing to retire despite reaching the mandatory age, fueling tensions over nepotistic promotions and deep divisions within the police force.
