As a Deputy Superintendent of Police in 1999, he was appointed the Chief Security Officer to the then-elected governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, who is now the President of Nigeria.

In that capacity, he coordinated the security of the entire state while reporting to the governor.

The president directed Mr Egbetokun to serve in an acting capacity pending his confirmation in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mr Tinubu’s move was widely anticipated as he made security his optimum priority. The president has also relieved the service chiefs, including the heads of the army, air force, and navy of their appointments, and named replacements for them.

“Security shall be the top priority of our administration because neither prosperity nor justice can prevail amidst insecurity and violence,” Mr Tinubu said in his inauguration speech. Until his appointment Monday night, Mr Egbetokun, from Ogun State, was a deputy inspector general of police by rank.

He was born on 4th September 1964. He enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force as a Cadet ASP (Course 16) on 3 March 1990.

Mr Egbetokun has a PhD in Peace and Security Studies from Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State. He attended the Global Conference on Chemical Security and Emerging Threats held in Lyon France in 2018 and trained in several professional courses.

He had his initial cadet training in the Nigeria Police Academy, and has attended many other courses within and outside the Police Force.

He has worked in several Police Commands and formations across the country and held command positions at various times. Egbetokun is not only a Police officer but a Mathematician.
