Monday, November 24, 2025 - Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has said that criminals who are willing to renounce violence and embrace peace will not be turned away.
The police chief disclosed this during a media engagement
recently. Egbetokun explained that accepting peace overtures does not translate
to easing pressure on criminal networks.
“Criminals
who want to embrace peace, we will not shut the doors to them. If they want to
surrender, they are welcome. But that does not mean we are going to relax our
onslaught on them,” he said.
Egbetokun also addressed rising cases of attacks on police
officers, warning that such incidents are unacceptable. He urged Nigerians to
avoid confronting officers on duty, even when disagreements arise, and instead
report misconduct through the proper channels.
“I have
repeatedly warned against attacking police officers on lawful duties. If you do
not agree with the conduct of any police officer, do not attack that policeman.
Report his conduct to his superiors” he said
