He gave special commendation to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Idachaba Laraba, who graduated with First Class honours from the Nigerian Law School — a rare and distinguished accomplishment.

The IGP highlighted the critical role of legal knowledge in modern policing, emphasizing that all police actions must be rooted in the law. He urged the newly qualified lawyers to use their expertise to strengthen the legal foundation of police operations and enhance service delivery to the public.
“You are returning not just as officers, but as custodians of legal knowledge,” Egbetokun stated. “Your success is a resource for the entire Force and a tool to uphold justice.”
The officers expressed gratitude for the support that enabled them to pursue legal education, particularly the IGP’s commitment to professional development within the Force. They pledged to maintain high standards of integrity and professionalism in their expanded roles.
