A storm is brewing within the Nigeria Police Force as senior officers accused of age falsification resist retirement, fueling an internal crisis.
The tension has escalated into a power struggle between Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun and Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) Dasuki Galandanchi over a controversial two-year service extension request.
Exclusive reports indicate that officers due for retirement are refusing to step down, allegedly manipulating records to prolong their stay.
The situation has sparked discontent within the force, raising fears of mutiny among rank-and-file personnel who view the development as a violation of due process.
IGP Egbetokun is reportedly under pressure to maintain discipline, while DIG Galandanchi’s push for extensions has deepened the division.
With allegations of favoritism and institutional corruption surfacing, the fate of the officers hangs in the balance as the power tussle intensifies.
Will the authorities crack down on defiant officers, or will internal wrangling further weaken the police force? The coming days will be crucial in determining the leadership’s stance on integrity and discipline within the force.
