Vice-President Kashim Shettima on Tuesday decorated Kayode Egbetokun with the rank of inspector-general of police (IGP).
Egbetokun was decorated at the presidential villa.
On Monday, President Bola Tinubu approved the immediate retirement of all security chiefs — including former IGP Usman Baba.
Egbetokun was born on September 4, 1964 in Erinja, Yewa South LGA of Ogun state. He started his journey into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in 1990 as a cadet assistant superintendent of police and in 1999, he was appointed chief security officer to Tinubu, then governor of Lagos.
He graduated from the University of Lagos with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics in June 1987 and lectured briefly at Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, before his enlistment into the police.
Here are photos of the ceremony.
