Meanwhile, the acting Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun has affirmed that the name of Jesus has brought him thus far in life. Taking a retrospect of his life at the 3rd annual Gospel Hymns and Birthday Concert of Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, he cited that the latest promotion he got as the IGP was by the Grace of God.
Egbetokun noted that he was watching the TV at his friend’s house when he saw his name on the breaking news as the acting Inspector-General of Police.
His words, ‘All through my life, I can see the grace of God and the hand of Jesus. I was in the house of my friend watching TV when I saw the breaking news that I have been made Ag. IGP. Jesus got involved that’s why I was named IGP, it is not because the President is my mentor.’
