His tour of duty had taken him to difficult and very challenging assignments and he has always excelled.

DIG Egbetokun represents the best in global policing in general and the Nigerian Police in particular, Dr Adebayo stated.

The Institute also congratulated both the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission for rewarding an exemplary officer, adding that this would be an incentive to other hardworking and ethical officers in the Police Force.
