Egbetokun spoke to State House correspondents yesterday after a security meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The police chief attributed the decline in crime rate to effective synergy and strategies implemented by security agencies. He vowed to sustain efforts to maintain the downward trend in crime rates.
He further disclosed that President Tinubu charged the various security formations to improve their synergy in securing the country.

He said, “It was a routine security meeting we had with Mr. President where we had the opportunity of giving him security briefs. We’ve been doing this regularly.

“Mr. President is happy with what we are doing, he’s satisfied with our reports and he has challenged us to continue to work together and improve our synergy.
