President Bola Tinubu has called on the National Assembly (NASS) to summon the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to address some concerns and delays.

Tinubu asked the federal lawmakers to invite the police chief to examine ways to 'institute controls and prevent abuses, as it was a necessary step in the fight against terrorism and banditry.'

Speaking on Friday night, December 19, at the 15th national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, Tinubu insisted that state police is the way to go.

A statement shared on X on Friday, December 19, by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, obtained by Legit.ng, highlighted Tinubu’s stance, and reads as follows: "President Tinubu said that State Police is the way to go.

He called on the National Assembly to summon the Inspector General of Police to examine ways to 'institute controls and prevent abuses', as it was a necessary step in the fight against terrorism and banditry."
