Kayode Egbetokun, former chief security officer to Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been named the new commissioner of police in Lagos state.

TheCable understands that Edgal Imohimi, the outgoing commissioner, was redeployed on Sunday to the force headquarters in Abuja.

Sources told TheCable that Imohimi, who is said to be an ally of Akinwunmi Ambode, the incumbent governor of the state, was “fired from Lagos” because he did not provide adequate security for the APC rally, which was held in Ikeja last week.

At the rally, Musiliu Akinsanya, a strong member of the party and treasurer of the National Union Road Transport Workers (NURTW), popularly known as “MC Oluomo”, was stabbed by rival factions of the party, while some journalists were also shot.

Egbetokun was Tinubu’s CSO for a few years before he became the commandant of Police Training School, Ikeja, Lagos.

The new commissioner was also the commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos, from 2005 to 2007.

Imohimi was deployed to Lagos state on August 31, 2017, after serving as the deputy commissioner of police in charge of Operations in the state.

He will now head the explosive ordinance unit of the police force in Abuja, the country’s capital.

Imohimi has excellent record in Lagos. Even in events where police security is heavy, policemen still get shot. This has nothing to do with Ambode or APC rally. Imohimi is going for national dispatch and a soon to be announced promotion. Simple!

I wish Jonathan did half of what this Idiot Buhari is doing right now, Buhari would have continued rearing his 130 cows in Daura. Am just beginning to get so mad at Jonathan. Imagine the power given to this dirty man with mouth odour, all because of votes fromSW, this is the same man that was put in the coolers after May 29th 2015 and all of a sudden has been brought back to reckoning just because of election. What was Edgal’s offence? Now he has been replaced with Tinubu former CSO all to pave way for a perfect rigging. Imagine having thugs and police combo on your side during elections, but one thing I want them to remember is that despite all Abachas security details, when his time came,they could not help him. God is watching.
