The anticipated change of guard between the Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal and his supposed successor, CP Kayode Egbtokun, yesterday took a new turn as a result of a directive from Abuja that status quo should be maintained.
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, CP Imohimi Edgal Mr. Edgal was expected to handover to his supposed successor, Mr. Egbetokun, at the conference hall of the Command in an event slated for 11.00am.
However, at about 1.30 pm, journalists were requested to go to the Commissioner of Police mini conference hall, where they were later joined by Edgal and Egbetokun.
But they were taken aback after what was expected to be a handover speech by Edgal, turned out to be the opposite.
In his brief remark, Edgal, said: “As we were about concluding the handing over procedure, we were instructed from our bosses in Abuja to stop action for now. So, there will be no change of guard for now.
“I am happy and humbled that you find this serious enough for you all to come and see what is happening here. I consider it an honour.”
