Tinubu Appoints Acting IGP Tunji Disu After Kayode Egbetokun's Resignation
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu as the acting Inspector-General of Police following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun. The move comes amid national security challenges and complies with Police Act 2020 provisions. Disu, a former Rivers State Commissioner of Police and head of the Intelligence Response Team, will serve as acting IGP with immediate effect. His substantive appointment requires Senate confirmation after a Nigeria Police Council meeting. Disu's career includes commanding SARS units in multiple states and peacekeeping in Sudan. This ends Egbetokun's controversial tenure, which exceeded mandatory retirement age despite legal extensions.
