The Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) has passed a vote of confidence in the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, reaffirming its support for his leadership and ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Police Force.
This resolution was made public in Abuja following a high-level consultative meeting by the PCRC’s national leadership. The committee, in a statement signed by its National Chairman, Alhaji Mogaji Ibraheem Olaniyan, described recent reports of an alleged planned strike by police personnel as false and the handiwork of “disgruntled elements” seeking to destabilise the Force.
“The committee stands firmly with the current police leadership and commends the IGP for his reforms, professionalism, and commitment to improving the welfare of officers and the security of Nigerians,” Olaniyan stated.
He further condemned the strike rumours, calling them “mere distractions” intended to incite disaffection within the ranks of the Force.
According to the PCRC, the IGP and his management team have demonstrated remarkable dedication to building a more community-driven and accountable policing system, with ongoing reforms already yielding positive outcomes in crime prevention, operational effectiveness, and public trust.
The committee urged all officers and personnel to remain loyal and committed to their duties, assuring them of continued support for improved welfare and professional advancement under Egbetokun’s leadership.
“We call on all Nigerians to ignore the false narratives aimed at causing tension in the Force. The Nigeria Police is on the right path under the current leadership,” the statement added.
Since assuming office, IGP Egbetokun has introduced several reforms targeted at enhancing internal discipline, officer welfare, and police-community relations, which have received commendation from various stakeholders.
