On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, the Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, played host to the Isreali Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Michael Freeman, and his entourage in his Abuja office.

During the meeting, the IGP seized the opportunity to brief the Ambassador about the new Nigeria Police Special Intervention Squad (SIS), which is the pet project of the IGP to tackle crimes and criminality, including violent crimes, across the country.
He admonished the ambassador to initiate a collaborative agenda in the areas of training and retraining, cross-fertilizing ideas, intelligence gathering, and improved human capacity building.

The meeting had in attendance the Deputy Isreali Ambassador to Nigeria, H.E. Inbar Lipman Garden, members of the Police Force Management Team, and other senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
