Lagos state commissioner of police, Edgal Imohimi disclosed that there would be no change of guard at the state command for now.
He said this at the command headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday.
former chief security officer to Bola Tinubu, Kayode Egbetokun had been named the new commissioner of police in the state while Imohimi was redeployed to the force headquarters in Abuja.
The process for the hand over was underway when Imohimi announced that he had received a directive from Abuja to suspend the action.
The CP said,“I am sure that you know Mr. Kayode Egbetokun; he is an old timer in the command.
“You all know that our first job is about order and direction; we were about concluding the handing and taking over procedure when we were instructed by our bosses from Abuja to suspend action for now.
“So, there will be no change of guard for now. Of course, we would keep the press briefed about any development.
“But I am happy, humbled that you find it serious enough for you all to come to witness what we are doing here. I consider it an honour.”
