**A New Era of Policing in Nigeria: IGP Disu Takes the Reins**
In a move that has sent ripples of excitement across the nation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed AIG Olatunji Disu as the acting Inspector-General of Police. The appointment has been welcomed with open arms by members of the #Prayer & Support 4 The Nigerian Armed Forces & Other Security Agencies, who have pledged their unwavering support to the new IGP.
The group, led by Convener Ambassador Mary Abayomi Fatile, has hailed IGP Disu's appointment as a testament to his outstanding leadership qualities, professionalism, and dedication to national service. According to Ambassador Fatile, IGP Disu's strong relationship with citizens has earned him widespread public trust, as exemplified by his calm and decisive response during the height of the EndSARS protests.
IPG Disu's impressive career has been marked by a rare blend of operational excellence and strategic leadership. As Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Lagos, he championed intelligence-led policing initiatives that strengthened public safety and improved response effectiveness. His tenure as Head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) demonstrated his capacity to lead complex operations with precision and professionalism.
In his previous roles as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, IGP Disu showcased exceptional administrative competence, crisis management skills, and commitment to maintaining law and order in challenging environments. The Association believes that his leadership will help bridge the gap between the Police and citizens, promoting greater trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.
As Nigeria navigates its complex and evolving security landscape, Nigerians are optimistic that IGP Disu's leadership will bring about a positive shift in public perception of the Police. The Association is confident that his tenure will be marked by a renewed focus on intelligence-led policing, deepened inter-agency collaboration, and enhanced officers' welfare.
With IGP Disu at the helm of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerians can look forward to a new era of policing that prioritizes professionalism, transparency, and community engagement. As the Association has pledged its support to the new IGP, it remains to be seen whether his appointment will be the catalyst for the much-needed reforms in the Police Force.
