President Bola Tinubu has appointed Tunji Disu as the new Inspector-General of Police, marking a leadership transition at the helm of the Nigeria Police Force.
Disu takes over from Kayode Egbetokun, who previously served as the nation’s top police officer. The appointment signals a new phase in the administration’s approach to policing, internal security, and law enforcement reforms across Nigeria.
Tunji Disu, a senior police officer with years of operational and administrative experience, is expected to lead ongoing efforts to strengthen intelligence-driven policing, tackle violent crime, and improve public trust in the force. His appointment comes at a time when security remains a key priority for the federal government.
Under his leadership, stakeholders anticipate renewed focus on professionalism, discipline within the ranks, and collaboration with other security agencies to address emerging threats. Analysts note that the role of the Inspector-General of Police is critical in shaping national security outcomes, particularly amid concerns over banditry, kidnapping, cybercrime, and urban violence.
The transition follows established procedures for appointing the Inspector-General, a position that oversees strategic direction, policy implementation, and operational coordination within the Nigeria Police Force.
Observers will be watching closely to see how the new Inspector-General navigates the challenges of modern policing while implementing reforms aimed at enhancing safety and restoring confidence in Nigeria’s law enforcement institutions.
