Speaking during a conference with PMF squadron commanders at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, Egbetokun described the PMF as the elite tactical unit of the police, stressing that it must be refocused on its original mandate—rapid response to riots, emergencies, and violent threats.

He expressed concern over the increasing diversion of PMF operatives to escort and guard duties, calling it a serious distortion that weakens the unit’s operational effectiveness.

The IGP also unveiled a series of reforms aimed at restoring professionalism and discipline within the PMF. These include quarterly training focused on ethics and professional standards, as well as the requirement for all squadrons to maintain combat-ready units that can be deployed at a moment’s notice.

He emphasized that commanders would be held directly accountable for the conduct and performance of their personnel, urging them to lead through consistent training, inspections, and mentorship.

Egbetokun noted that these reforms are part of a broader plan to elevate the force’s operational standards and uphold human rights in line with global best practices. He reaffirmed the commitment of the police leadership to reposition the PMF as a disciplined, dependable, and highly responsive tactical unit.

He also expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his continued support and acknowledged the contributions of international partners in enhancing the force’s technical and operational capacity. The IGP called on all PMF commanders to embrace the reforms as both a professional duty and a moral obligation.
