Egbetokun emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability within the force, acknowledging the media's crucial role in this effort
At the PPROs/Police Communication Experts' Conference in Asaba, Delta State, Egbetokun stressed that social media can spread unverified information, creating false perceptions. He encouraged the public to use established channels for reporting grievances.
