Egbetokun deploys Adegoke Fayoade as new Lagos CP

Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police (IGP), has deployed Adegoke Fayoade as the new commissioner of police in Lagos.

Muyiwa Adejobi, the force spokesperson, announced the development in a post shared on X.

“IGP deploys CP Adegoke Fayoade to Lagos Command. Lagos has a new commissioner of Police. Congrats to my boss, Adegoke Fayoade,” Adejobi wrote on Tuesday.

Fayoade will replace Idowu Owohunwa, who was deployed to Lagos as the commissioner in February this year.

The new commissioner is expected to resume duty on Wednesday.

In October, Owohunwa was approved for promotion to the rank of assistant inspector general of police by the Police Service Commission (PSC).
