Tinubu Appoints Tunji Disu as Acting IGP

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu as the acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP) following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun. The appointment takes effect immediately as Disu addresses Nigeria's security challenges. Disu, a former IRT commander and judo silver medalist, previously rebranded Lagos' Rapid Response Squad as 'The Good Guys' to improve public trust. He holds three degrees including Criminology and has led FCT and Rivers State commands. Disu will formally be considered for substantive IGP by the Nigeria Police Council before Senate confirmation. Will Disu's policing philosophy restore public confidence in security operations?
