Omoyele Sowore has urged new IGP Tunji Disu to withdraw charges and reverse alleged illegalities carried out by former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
He also called for an end to VIP protection by the police.
Human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has outlined what he believes should be the first task of the new Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu.
In a statement, Sowore said the new police chief’s immediate responsibility should be to withdraw all charges and reverse what he described as illegal actions carried out by former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
He also called on Disu to put an end to VIP protection, arguing that the police force should prioritize the safety of ordinary citizens rather than focusing on protecting political elites and influential individuals.
Sowore’s remarks have sparked conversations online, with some Nigerians supporting his call for reforms, while others say the new IGP should be given time to settle into office.
“The first duty for the new IG of Police, Tunji Disu, is to withdraw all the charges and reverse all the illegalities carried out by Kayode Egbetokun, and to stop VIP protection.
