The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has cancelled all non-essential personal and social engagements for the next two days as a tribute to the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The presidency confirmed the passing of the army chief on Wednesday morning, disclosing that he had been away due to an undisclosed illness.

In a statement signed by Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Nigeria Police Force expressed profound sadness at the loss of General Lagbaja, who was known for his relentless fight against insurgency, armed banditry, and violent extremism.

“The Nigeria Police Force is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja on November 5, 2024.
