President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has accepted the resignation of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, following the submission of his letter citing pressing family considerations.

President Tinubu received Mr Egbetokun’s resignation earlier today and expressed his profound appreciation for Egbetokun’s decades of distinguished service to the Nigeria Police Force and the nation. The President acknowledged his dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening internal security architecture during his tenure.

Appointed in June 2023, Egbetokun was serving a four-year term scheduled to conclude in June 2027, in line with the amended provisions of the Police Act.

In view of the current security challenges confronting the nation, and acting in accordance with extant laws and legal guidance, President Tinubu has approved the appointment of Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu to serve as Acting Inspector-General of Police with immediate effect.

The President is confident that AIG Disu’s experience, operational depth, and demonstrated leadership capacity will provide steady and focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force during this critical period.

In compliance with the provisions of the Police Act 2020, President Tinubu will convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council shortly to formally consider the appointment of AIG Disu as substantive Inspector-General of Police, after which his name will be transmitted to the Senate for confirmation.

The President reiterates his administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing national security, strengthening institutional capacity, and ensuring that the Nigeria Police Force remains professional, accountable, and fully equipped to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.

A Nigerian lady identified as Susan has stirred conversations online after publicly announcing that she is searching for a man to marry her before 2027.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the 24-year-old explained that she decided to “let her guards down” after noticing that other women who openly declared their intentions to find love eventually succeeded.

According to Susan, she has never been married but has a child who currently lives with her grandmother.

She alleged that the child’s father abandoned them, adding that it has been a long time since she was in a relationship.

In her words, she said:

“I’m 24. I haven’t been married. I have a kid and she’s with her grandmother. The kid’s father ran away. It’s been long since I’ve been in a relationship.”

Describing herself as a “rising star,” Susan revealed that her pastor once prophesied that her glory lies in the future.

She expressed confidence that any man who marries her now would enjoy a brighter tomorrow alongside her.
