President Bola Tinubu has officially decorated Tunji Disu as the Acting Inspector-General of Police, following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun.
The decoration ceremony, held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, formally marked Disu’s assumption of office as the head of the Nigeria Police Force. The appointment comes at a pivotal time for the nation’s security architecture, with expectations high for continuity and renewed reforms within the police institution.
Disu takes over leadership of the police force after Egbetokun stepped down from the position. While details surrounding the resignation were not immediately disclosed, the transition signals a new chapter in the leadership of the country’s law enforcement agency.
Before his elevation, Disu held several strategic positions within the Nigeria Police Force, earning a reputation for operational competence and administrative experience. Over the years, he has served in various capacities across different commands, contributing to internal security operations and institutional development.
As Acting Inspector-General, Disu is expected to oversee ongoing reforms aimed at improving professionalism, enhancing community policing, and strengthening intelligence-led operations. Security analysts note that the new police chief will face pressing challenges, including tackling violent crime, addressing public concerns about police conduct, and boosting morale within the ranks.
President Tinubu, during the ceremony, emphasized the importance of discipline, accountability, and dedication to national service. The President urged the new Acting IGP to uphold the rule of law and ensure that the police force remains committed to safeguarding lives and property across the country.
The appointment underscores the administration’s focus on maintaining stability and reinforcing the country’s security institutions. Observers say Disu’s performance in the coming months will be closely watched as he navigates the demands of leading one of Nigeria’s most critical public institutions.
