*Civil Society Groups Back IGP Egbetokun, Condemn Sowore's Allegations* A coalition of civil society organizations under the banner of Concerned Citizens for Justice and Rule of Law has expressed support for the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, lauding his efforts to enhance national security and reform the Nigeria Police Force. During a press conference on Friday, the group criticized activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, labeling him an "agent of chaos and misinformation" following his recent criticisms of the police boss. Speaking on behalf of the group, Comrade Kabir Matazu praised the IGP’s leadership, highlighting significant achievements in reducing violent crimes such as kidnappings, armed robbery, and terrorism. He also commended Egbetokun’s commitment to community policing, which has reportedly strengthened trust between law enforcement and citizens. "We condemn in its entirety the baseless and malicious attacks being launched against the IGP by Omoyele Sowore," Matazu stated. "His actions are part of a well-orchestrated distraction campaign aimed at undermining the progress being made in crime reduction." The group described Sowore as a "professional protest organizer and agent of destabilization," accusing him of inciting unrest and spreading falsehoods through his media platform, Sahara Reporters. "Sowore's actions are not patriotic, but treacherous," Matazu asserted. "He is a self-serving mercenary with no genuine interest in the welfare of the people." The group further alleged that Sowore's criticisms were motivated by foreign interests seeking to weaken Nigeria's institutions. Despite the attacks, the coalition urged IGP Egbetokun to remain focused on his reforms, emphasizing that his leadership had ushered in a "new era of professionalism and effectiveness" within the police force. "We reaffirm our full support for the IGP and encourage him not to be distracted by the antics of mischief-makers like Sowore," Matazu concluded. The group called on Nigerians to resist being swayed by what they described as Sowore’s self-serving agenda, urging the judiciary to ensure that justice prevails in all matters.
