Egbetokun, appointed IGP in June 2023 for a four-year term, stepped down citing pressing family considerations, a reason affirmed by the presidency amid unverified online rumors. Tinubu immediately named 59-year-old Assistant Inspector General Tunji Disu, a 1992 police joiner with strong Lagos credentials, as acting IGP and decorated him Wednesday at the State House. The move, following Police Act procedures, has sparked debate over skipped senior officers like Deputy IG Frank Mba and claims of ethnic favoritism since both Egbetokun and Disu hail from Yoruba backgrounds, though supporters point to Disu's merit and early enlistment.

Key Takeaway

President Tinubu praised Kayode Egbetokun's long service before accepting his sudden resignation over family reasons, swiftly handing the reins to trusted Lagos veteran Tunji Disu.

Gunmen killed dozens, possibly over 100, in Woro and Nuku villages on February 4, razing homes and looting amid a wave of violence across Nigerian states. Posts paired old photos of Gumi with bandits to claim he conditioned peace on Kwara embracing Sharia penal codes, but no video, audio, statement, or coverage from major outlets confirms it—his X account stays silent on the topic. Kwara already has Sharia courts for Muslim personal matters under Nigeria's constitution, yet the unverified rumor has split opinions, with calls for Gumi's arrest and fears of religious divides as leaders like Governor AbdulRazaq seek federal help.

Key Takeaway

Amid fresh bandit horrors in Kwara villages, social media posts falsely pinned a shocking demand on Sheikh Ahmad Gumi: adopt full Sharia law for peace.

Others argue it is a longstanding Igbo word from early European trade contacts, with references to Itsekiri usage and Igbo terms like 'Beke,' leading to tribal exchanges and demands for pre-1700 evidence.
