Egbetokun stated this in Enugu while addressing officers and men of Enugu State Police Command during his two-day working visit to the command.

“We will not tolerate any assault on our police officers; not to talk of killing police personnel. An assault on any police personnel is criminal and an assault on me, the IGP,” he said.

“For 2025, we are not going to take any kind of assault on our personnel and not talk of killing any of them.

“Anywhere there is assault or killing of any policeman, you all must respond commensurately and appropriately. We will not tolerate it anymore.”

The IGP assured that there would be massive training and retraining of police personnel across commands, formations, squads, and units in 2025.

“We are aiming at professionalism, discipline and competency this year through training and retraining of personnel,” he said.

Egbetokun said that President Bola Tinubu was committed to the welfare and well-being of police personnel.

He noted that Tinubu always acknowledged the sacrifices police officers and men are putting to ensure security nationwide.

“President Tinubu is personally making a robust welfare package for police personnel, which I know will take care of all our welfare worries and concerns,” he said.

“However, it will remain internal with the police and not for public or press consumption,” he said.

He said he had been receiving good reports about the Enugu State Police Command, especially in their operations and the residents’ support.

Egbetokun noted that in 2025 the police would stamp out criminals in the state, those that had been chased away would not return and the headquarters would support the Command with all necessary resources.

“You are going to record more achievements this 2025 when we start giving additional support to the Command,” he said.

Earlier, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, appreciated the IGP for the official working visit and his fatherly support to the state Command and its formations, squads, and units.

Uzuegbu, who reeled out the Command’s achievement in 2024, appealed to the IGP for more personnel, arms and ammunition, operational vehicles, and Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) among others.

For over four years, Ekpa humiliated and trampled on the Nigerian military and police, enforcing Monday sit-at-homes with impunity. Not a word, not a move from any IGP. Silence reigned as he mocked their authority.

Now, by divine intervention, Ekpa has been sidelined, and suddenly the IGP has rediscovered his lost voice and newfound audacity. Truly, may God continue to save us from such hypocritical leadership.

IGP please rest in Jesus name

helinues:
Hehehe, una wan rope genocide story on FG..

Fix your house without expecting outsiders to do it for you

kettykin:
For over four years, Ekpa ran riot, treating the Nigerian military and police like his lapdogs, enforcing Monday sit-at-homes as if he owned the country. The IGP was mute, cowering in disgraceful silence, watching as Ekpa spat on their so-called authority.

He should sit down and shut up. Let him not, through his reckless words, provoke the rise of another tyrant. If he can't contribute to peace, he should stay out of the way and let God finish restoring sanity to the South East.

helinues:
Who are the people who supported/hailed/praised Ekpa to continue with the destruction of South East, which region are they from?

kettykin:
It’s reckless, thoughtless statements like these that plunged the Southeast into chaos. The region was peaceful—largely untouched—until Operation Python Dance stormed in, and careless insults like calling the Southeast a “dot in a circle” unleashed the fury and violence we see today. Words have consequences, and these provocations are what awakened the beast in men. If those in power had kept their mouths shut, we wouldn’t be cleaning up this mess.

helinues:
Before the operation python, what led to the invitation?

Stop talking half story

kettykin:
Before all this madness, the Southeast was peaceful—no chaos, just a few harmless road walks and barely-noticed IPOB gatherings. But then came reckless provocations and heavy-handed actions that turned a quiet region into a war zone. They took a smoldering ember and poured gasoline on it, igniting the chaos we see today.

helinues:
When you are done lying to yourself, let us know.

Are the Ipob the only group agitating for a new country? How come there was no operation python in other regions to contain the secessionists?

kettykin:
IPOB was a peaceful, non-violent group until the barbaric mass killings across the East ignited a volcanic rage in them. The blood spilled awakened a beast that had been dormant, and now everyone is scrambling to pray for peace. This chaos wasn’t born out of thin air—it was provoked, fueled by reckless brutality, and now the same instigators are pretending to seek calm. Hypocrisy at its peak!

helinues:
A non violent group blocking the road at will

A peaceful group attacking those who are not buying into their ideas?

For how long would you continue swallowing una own fabricated lies just to satisfy una egos?

kettykin:
Are people not blocking roads all over Lagos at will in the name of celebration and parties. Why this selective moral outrage?

yarimo:
The agulu fraudster will soon misinterprete what IGP said in a hateful and provocative manner
