President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a change in the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, announcing the Assistant Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu as the new Inspector-General of Police.
Security sources confirmed on Tuesday that the appointment has been concluded and that formal procedures to effect the transition are already in motion. An official announcement from the Presidency is expected shortly.
The development marks the end of the tenure of Kayode Egbetokun, whose leadership drew sustained public attention amid debates over policing reforms and internal security challenges.
AIG Disu is a senior officer with extensive operational and intelligence experience. He has previously served as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State and headed the Intelligence Response Team, a key unit involved in counterterrorism and anti-kidnapping operations.
He is widely viewed within security circles as an officer with strong professional discipline and a focus on intelligence-led policing.
The leadership change is expected to shape the next phase of reforms within the Nigeria Police Force, as the new police chief takes over .
